The paint I used is MOTIP, but I don't think you can buy that brand in the US.

How to do it ??
1. clean the parts with water and soap
2. clean the parts with fresh water
3. clean the parts with decreaser
4. paint them with affix primer
5. paint them with white primer
6 paint them twice with paint
7 paint them with blank paint
8 ready

Not easy, but also not TO hard............ if you know how to paint you will do fine................

I did the SAME thing last night! I got everything cleaned off really well, and then I went to PEP Boys, and they didn't have the color I wanted to paint under my hood! So I am going to try again next weekend. Yours turned out VERY nice though! I'll post some pics of mine when i'm done!

Johan, that looks really nice. What type of short-ram intake is that?

That is a Blitz short-ram intake.

In Europe impossible to find, so I imported it directly from Japan

A friend of mine who bought the same intake told me the gains are great. For me it is hard to say because at the same time I installed de tuned ECU..................
