Im at a standstill "Kinda".. I am in the process of painting all my intercooler plumbing and custom intake and cold air tube, and I have no clue what color to do... My valve covers are red to match the paint, I will eventually paint the motor black. I was thinking silver/aluminum but I kinda tossed that idea... So, any opinions welcome.. Here is what I'm workin' with:

I only have a pic of the one side, but you get the idea!!

 

Paint them silver/alumimum metallic and paint your heater core lines silver as well because i see they're peeling. NOT the mexican chrome in a can.

 

I painted mine Dupli color de1650 Cast coat aluminum, same as my valve covers and I am soon gonna paint my heater lines the same

This I/C pipe will also be silver after my new boots get here

 

you otta go candy blue

 

Then it wouldn't match he rest of his truck

 

Black dissipates heat the best....

 

i like my choice or black to better contrast the colors and make people think that they are some specail type of tubes.

 

You have any pics of yours with the Candy Blue.. I got them all in Primer tonight ready for a color!! I am kinda leaning towards red like the valve covers, but I can't find any rattle can spray to match, I only have enough paint left out of the batch to finish the tail gate..

I would like to get some carbon fiber looking spray, do they make that... Or semi gloss black.. I really like the look of the CFM intakes.. The satin and carbon Fiber look sweet... I am all over the map... I'm trying to find things to do that don't cost much...lol I'm at 25 bucks so far!!

 

it dosent really matter what you decide on your truck is still one of the nicest first gen on here

 

Thanks man... Much appreciated!!

 

yea your truck has inspired me to go up to rips and drop a grand for him to mabet build me the same thing out of 5inc.

 

i painted mine blue i think it looks realy good its a little bit darker in person than in the pics but still looks good

 

Im partial to Flat Black Wrinkle.

Check out some of the Eastwood Company's stuff. They have enough paint and coatings to make your head spin even before you start spraying your parts. By the way where did you put your battery????

 

here is a pic of the where fabbed up the battery tray...

I opted to go semi gloss black on most of the tubes and the intake horn.. Then my new cold air intake tube will be red like the valve covers... I think it will look cool... There is a lot of work trying to make the pipes that were weded together look like one... It's like bodywork all over again!! I should have some pics up in a few days....
