Nice Job Jack! How long did it take you to pull it off? I wouldn't mind doing mine gloss black.

Sweet. Post pics when you get it on!

Thanks Rob! ;)

Jesse, it took an hour to sand it down, and primer it last night. It took an additional 2 hours to paint it red, let it dry and clear coat it!! ;)

Cool, but how long did it take you to pull the manifold off the engine?

No John, but I think it would be cool to own a repair/paint/performance shop!! ;) If I can do what I've been doing with a spray can, I can surely do some nice work with a spray gun!! ;)

Jesse, it took about an hour and a half to take off the valve covers and intake manifold!! ;) I was really surprised at how easy it was!
