Tommy - im liking the Painted pipes pal! 
I see this a couple of weeks back on somebody's Nissan and it was done really well.
Ive got my engine out and painting bits allover ATM. What paint/primer did you use? Aerosol or brush Paint?

Painted inlet
Will be doing other little bits, but really wanted to paint the pipes too. I was thinking powder coated but not sure on cost. What primer did you use mate? Im thinking silver/anthracite just to tidy it up. Dont want too many colours going on. My pipes are a bit of a state too!

okay mate - nice one. Think I might test a part and see how it goes I was happy with the inlet - just not too sure on the shade of red, but Im hugely colourblind
