RB26 Inlet plenum

[iruvyouskyrine]

Has anyone painted/clear coated/poweder coated their RB26 inlet plenum and ITB's? 

Just wondering what the finish came up like on them and how durable they are. Obviously depends on the paint used but just after some general pics and if you are happy with how it came out. I do like the stock colour it's just that with oily hands they get dirty very quickly and are difficult to keep clean.

Thanks

will post pics tonight but i did mine in VHT Satin Black. i was going to leave it as a raw finish but next to freshly painted engine covers it wasnt that great a look.

i used VHT primer and black over the top. came out great i think. i also considered getting it polished but that needs its own maintenance schedule. at least this way VHT satin black is easy to touch up.

i did not paint my throttlebodies. i sort of wish i did. i gave them a really good clean inside and out. they look good but after everything was together, looked a little unfinished.
