Hey folks...

I installed a new Edelbrock intake manifold and carb a few months ago. I didn't paint it before I put it on, because it looked awesome. Well....it now looks like poop. Is there anything wrong with my painting it now that it's in the boat?

Chevy used to paint several parts after it was put together. A "true" restored late 60's small block should have orange overspay on the hoses and clamps.
Go figure.

Yea, it will be a little more "fun" masking offf and making sure you are not painting the rest of the boat.

Zinc chromate primer before your favorite color. If this is non-vortec and you didn't block off th the exhaust crossover, probably should use a high temp paint.
