cs2000 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Hey all, just incase anyone happens to have these laying around, im after an upper plenum as I want to paint it and replace mine, also since im at it I may as well fit a plenum spacer so if anyone is de-modding or happens to want to sell one, let me know. I would also like a nice engine bay bolt kit, but don't feel like paying the prices that ProBolt want, plus I cant seem to find a kit for the entire bay, any ideas? Cheers Quote
14N Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) If you want to paint the upper plenum, this can be done in a day due to the textured finish (just start early or take it off the night before), no need to buy a spare. You don't need to use VHT paint as, although it gets (very) warm, it doesn't get very HOT. Send ianphampton a PM as he was (and still is I believe) doing the full stainless bolt kit with anodised washers. Edited August 23, 2013 by 14N Quote
Vlad Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 ^^ what he said! Regarding plenum spacer - just sold mine, but few traders on here do them or get a fancy polished/anodised one from Wasso! If you painting your top plenum - I would go for one of the Wasso's ones as you can get them in different colors Quote

cs2000 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) haha, I was concerned with upper plenum as theyre all very oxidised and pitted, I guess just due to their nature of being exposed, getting hot, then cooling, maybe even getting wet. My guess was it would need a good 1-2 days of prep work. Of course, assuming it exists you could you a high temp filling primer to make it smooth, put on a good few coats and then spray with a standard rattle can. I mean, id have the plenum off anyway to fit the spacer so could always give it a try I guess. Edited August 23, 2013 by cs2000 Quote
