a flat black engine bay would be so hard to keep clean. Its the glossyness that makes it so that u can keep it clean.

thanks! I was really concidering the gunmetal but just wanted a little more brightness out of it. I'm thinkin i might do my fuel rail GunMetal so that it looks nice & stands off from the intake manifold. Coz if i do it the same color then it would probly blend right in.

Sweet! How much would you charge to do one similarly, my Y8 manifold waiting to go on is a little dingy...

I'd strip off all the sensors before I sent it to you of course.
