Powder coated plenum e

[Hoofa]

Just wondering what colour to do mine, fancy candy purple to match the rocker covers, any pic of different coloured plenums anywhere ?

[Discopotatoes]

Matching sounds good candy purple is a great colour, I have a powder coating kit at home with chrome powder coat, which looks good if the substrate is polished

We also have purple rocker covers and had our plenum done in antique grey as a sport of contrast. This is the engine rebuilt as a 4.6 when it arrived back at TrackVroad for installation. The plenum wil be coming off soon as the replacement twin plenum from ACT has arrived.

If I were to do it again I would probably polish it instead though.

If I can wheelie a bike over a mile im sure it will be easier in a car?

I guess why would you prefer the polished look ?, yours looks good,

Stunning

I was in a quandry when having mine done but I went with the advice of having it done in crinkled black in contrast to the rest of the engine, it looks really good close up.

I do like the crackle black finish ... thinking of getting my hifi stands refinished in that.
