same as me. make sure you get the one that is made to withstand engine heat. 800 degree IIRC. Make sure you put 3 coats of primer, atleast 3 coats of your choice of color paint, and 3 coats of clear. Best to wait atleast 20-30 minutes between coats and let it cure for 24 hours before reinstalling them.

I agree, however, if you are doing the valve covers as well and are planning on wet-sanding and buffing for no orange peel then do 4-5 coats of clear and let them dry 24 hours before sanding. I got into the blue a few times when sanding all the orange peel on my covers. Left the throttle body alone as I didnt feel like sanding all the curves.

So what about that trade mac10chap.........

Ha, No problem. Uninstall is lots easier than the install. Of course I cant guarantee anything would work afterwards........haha
