Painting Intercooler Piping Black

In this video I drastically improve the appearance of my S15's engine bay by painting my intercooler piping and changing our blue silicone joiners for black ones.
This was done for about $80 or so and I think it's money well spent.
There are some con's to doing this job (heat retention) but for a street car I think it should be fine.
Hope you enjoy,
Pierson

Quick tip, buy a cheap beach tent and use that as a spray booth, helps keep the dust out and its small enough to use in your garage.

Great tip!

Haha mate, I just finished putting expensive ripple paint on.. and the 4yr old decided to what the hanging pipes with a stick! Wood chips all over wet paint! 😅

Black pipes look so much better..!

[@PiersonWillis]

Yeah I love how it looks now

Watching this back did you not wonder why you never put the car outside and painted them in the huge garage you have? 😀
Result though

[@PiersonWillis]

Good question! Haha

What grit sand paper is best before painting ?

Note to self: don’t paint when it’s windy 🌬 😆

[@PiersonWillis]

Peter Willis maybe the intake plenum? Not too sure though.
