Painting intake and TB?

[gsxeclipsed]

Is there anyway i could paint my TB and intake myself without it looking like crap? Also i dont want it to chip off in like 2 days. I know people get them powder coated and this is an option but how much does it cost?

Thanx, Ben

powder coating is expensive. if you do paint it go with a very high temp paint that wont flake. i.e. grill paint or engine paint.

the better you prep, the more evenly it comes out. Sand it down nice and good, primer it, wait, sand to even it out,, primer, sand, primer, wash it, base coat, 10 minutes, more base. some thing like that. take your time. dont just shoot it.
