I am almost done putting my engine back together.I had it out so I decided to repaint my tins and fan housing. It looked like crap so I said what the heck. I kind of like the way the engine looks but the intakes for the carbs look horrible in my oppinion. They are cast and have an unfished look. Is there any reason why I would not want to paint them. I am thinking about flat black. In my oppinion it would be a cool conbtrast to the blue engine tin.Le t me know what you think!!!

Rich Rich would you advise against flat black? Sir andy thinks it could be an issue--I just think it would be cool. By the way Rich do you like old V.W bus. There is some guy down the street selling one. I think it`s kin of cool. |
