JMK33 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 For my upper IC pipe...not my wheels I can get the chrome for free, but I think powdercoated Lazer blue to match my strut bar would look sick...opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy von Frankenvolvo Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 For my upper intercooler pipe...not my wheels I can get the chrome for free, but I think powdercoated Lazer blue to match my strut bar would look sick...opinions?Got any pics of the engine bay (and the aforementioned strut bar)? Do you have any other chrome/polished parts? Any other blue accents in the engine bay? If you don't have any other chromed items, then I think the powdercoat would be a more attractive choice. But with that said, free is a hard price to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesoam Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 if you are going to coat it with anything sent it out for ceramic coating. Jet hot has a bunch of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NGB Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 There's no point in going chrome, highly polished and chrome are almost the same. But if you want to go with a color, i'd suggest doing the intake mani the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy von Frankenvolvo Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 After looking at the pic, I say chrome would look a bit cleaner IMHO (plus, free is a hard price to beat), but either one will look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
