body color, but leave the mesh black, otherwise it just looks like a huge gaping hole in the front of the car (you too tdci29)

Really be careful when you use a rattlecan... keep a good distance and just spray little shots at a time... dont just hold the trigger and go to town, it'll bubble. And you should paint your intake... and your valve cover... and a new header.

Its fun learning how to do stuff to your car all by yourself, so you can try to paint it, and if it doesnt come out right you can get it painted proffessionaly

Get high temp paint. Also, apparently you can use high temp primer, whatever paint you want, and then high temp clear coat and you'll be good.


Your engine looks sad.
