Intake Mani Painted

[Avus E30]

A lot of simple green and too much time bent over a bucket scrubbing and scraping the gunk off will wear your back out. A little bit of High temp satin finish spray paint and pretty things can happen.



Gonna polish off the raised parts to match the valve cover I worked on the other day.



Just cleanin up the look of the engine compartment.

looks good, but just out of curiosity why didn't you choose the wrinkle or stock silver?

[Avus E30]

My only goal was to really get rid of the ugly cosmolined parts. I had some high temp satin on hand and the thrifty won out.

are you going to leave the BMW badge raised silver or are you going to buy another BMW trunk badge and slap on their, I have no preference but I am just asking. looks good

[Avus E30]

I am gonna polish off the paint on the raised part

[MR 325]

Looks good man, nice work

Cosmoline is the devil

[Avus E30]

if anyone is interested I can do the same to the one I am taking out of my car and replacing with this one. Cleaned and painted silver or black or whatever. It was actually kind of fun to clean it up and paint it.

Can you post pics of the finished product with the raised parts bare/silver.

[Avus E30]

yeah Ill post a pic tomorrow, it was installed today and its still at the shop, havent picked it up yet. It was really hard to get the BMW emblem polished, i had to get quite particular with my sand paper and other various tool to pull off the paint.

yeah I am going to paint mine black when I do the turbo to help clean up the engine bay some...I don't think I am going to do the wrinkle paint...I kinda like the regular paint better
