clean it up then use wet and dry paper to make it smooth (will take while on the inlet manifold!!), then spray - normal hammerite paint will be fine.Quickest way is to get it cleaned up then get it powdercoated in the colour you want same with rocker covers ________________________________________ Owner of a Nile Phase 2 GTI-6 & Impreza WRX . |

no reason why not, finish wont be as good as sprayed/coated though and powder coating is not that expensive.So unless you have the time/energy to prepare the inlet for painting i would pay a few quid to get it powder coated. ________________________________________ Owner of a Nile Phase 2 GTI-6 & Impreza WRX. |

have got a spare inlet and thinking of doing this i have got it rubbed down so its smooth as a babys bum all the moulding lines are removed and its perfect for paint. to i need to use a special primer like acid etch?? i am then thinkin of painting it in the same colour paint as the car. will a good oil/petrol resistant lacure be a good idea to apply on top of the paint?cheers tom ________________________________________ ph3 gti-6 china blue- mint conditionph2 gti-6 nile blue K.I.A dec 2010 |

I just used Halfords paint and clear coat, turned out absolutely fine apart from when I had a leaky injector and it stripped the paint.My view is that you shouldn't have petrol flying about in there anyway, so just use normal clear coat ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |
