I am almost done putting my engine back together.I had it out so I decided to repaint my tins and fan housing. It looked like crap so I said what the heck. I kind of like the way the engine looks but the intakes for the carbs look horrible in my oppinion. They are cast and have an unfished look. Is there any reason why I would not want to paint them. I am thinking about flat black. In my oppinion it would be a cool conbtrast to the blue engine tin.Le t me know what you think!!!

Joe, their concern is that you might lose performance. You won't gain any, that's for sure.
(On the other hand, those '69 912 owners could pick up some horsepower by painting theirs silver. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) ) |
