Thinking of painting my inlet manifold and fuel rail guard black, what ya rekcon?

Obviously in won't be that dark, but quite like, especially with my hillpower i/k in place.

Can't beat the polished look BUT why not leave the RS text in Ali and paint the rest, then get a carbon cover...would look very different, stealthy even?!?

Use hamerite, matt finish it should give the best results.

plasticote from halfords works well.

you also need self etch prima... and it needs to be cleaned very well..

best to remove them from the car to do...
