Damnit, I just had a quick muck around with colour filtering in photoshop to see what it would look like with a silver coating, and it looks f**king awesome!
I'm annoyed because I wish I got it done by Full Race in the first place! Also, if I do get it coated it is going to hold up progress (again).
I still like the existing bare colour heaps, but now I have another big decision on my hands lol.

the coating will look nicer, longer.
you wont be bothered to change it once its on and everything is running so do it now before you put it all together.
that is...if it doesn't cost super heaps..

I'll probably end up doing it, or I'll forever be wishing that I did.
It will probably be about $150 or so to get it coated, because it was about $250 total for the intake manifold and heat shields.
My mech will be annoyed because he has been dying to finally fit these parts once and for all, and he was going to do it first thing tomorrow lol.

oh well, i think the result will speak for itself

Just leave the exhaust manifold bare, so can see the workmanship. Looks awesome anyway!

It's already been sent away this morning to get a silver ceramic coating.
I agree that it's a shame to spoil the way it looks now, but it won't look like that forever and it will start to look a crappy colour down the track. With the silver coating it will always look awesome!
At least I got photos of the bare item beforehand

so whats left to do after the manifold gets back?
