Painting upper intake...Did a search and noticed a few people that have painted them... just wondering what kind of paint did any of you use? Just the basic rattle can duplicolor engine enamel? That's what I used for the cai... seemed to work fine... Also any prep work... like sanding? I wouldn't think so... since the upper intake is a rough surface as it is

I rattle-canned the cai black, and going to re-paint it... figured might as well do it all... just wanted to make sure the rattle-can was ok to use... or if it would turn out like crap...
