So yea, like the topic states... Anyways, when i bought my car it came with a SRI. It's good i like it but im not flashy at all, not calling people who have chrome intake piping ricers but just not my style. I was thinking about spraying it Flat Black. My question to you all is if i bought a high temp spray paint and hit it up real good, maybe even a 2-3 coats, (just cause im bored). Well do you all think it will stick or will it eventually crack or and crap. Anyone ever do this and does it look like i think it will look? cause i dont wanna deal with it if it will turn out crappy.

 

It can be done, is it chrome or a diff color? I'm not sure if it should be sanded or not thou.

 

If you just paint over chrome it will just flake off once it gets a runner. Even if you did 10 coats. The base it not cured and thus you will just have larger flakes of paint. If you want to do this succesfully I suggest yuo bead or sand blast the surface of the intake to rought up the surface and lose the smoothness of the chrome. Do about 4 coats of high temp primer and then 3-4 coats of your choice high temp. color.

 

Ok, thanks

 

who cares.... its under the hood... what are you doing letting people look under there if you arent showing off anyway... i'm confused
