I used a red VHT paint made for brake calipers, to paint the runners on my LS2 intake. I didn't use any primer or anything under it. Just prepped the intake with some 320 scotch sanding sponge, taped off the parts i didn't want painted, and sprayed it. It seems to stick really well. I don't know if the LS4 engine cover is a different composite than the intake though. |

How long has the paint been on your intake? How many miles have you put on it since you painted it?

Didn't see this until now. But it's been on the intake for about 6 months now I think. And still 0 miles, since I don't have the build done yet. It's just been sitting in the garage. But I don't forsee any issues with it, once I do get it in.

Sorry guys. Been a LOOOOOONG time since I've been on the Fiero post. Those that are interested...the wrap was a bit of a disappointment. From a distance it still looks awesome, but under close inspection, it's starting to separate from tough angles. It's kept in a garage, but still. It's probably as much the fault of the applicator (the guy who did it, this was their first time doing it) and just the fact that wraps are nice, but it's not a paint job. Is it drivable? Yes. Is it good for a show....absolutely not. It lasted what, two years so I can't complain too much.
The paint on the engine cover is still 100% perfect. I'll get it out this summer (I've been distracted from my new ride I get this March) and take some current photos.

Hey Maurice, the valance panel looks a little low at the hood centerline. Is it jus the camera angle? You can use a spacer to prop it up if needed.

Hi,
Can't answer for blkcofy but after 3800 miles on mine I get 32 on the freeway at 72.... 27+ putting my foot in it a bit... (70 to 80 mph) Full tank measured from topped to refill.... with around town and freeway I average 20.... Which is 4mpg more than I used to get with the stock V6 auto.
For the record, I have made no major mods. DoD is on.... which helps... Just shorter cat-back exhaust with Cats only... And a better designed air intake designed by FieroKing. Who did my swap.
Better mileage than my wife's V6 stock formula by far... Power? ABSOLUTELY no comparison. None whatsoever... No not even....
