Wow! Those are nice but too bad I don't have Brembos . Good job!

I think those would look hot on a SB or Redline Z.

Nice job as usual Mike, just not sure black is a good choice to accent the brakes, I think they will just get lost in there and only obvious if yo ulook into the wheel. Who knows maybe I am an attention hound.

Do you powder coat intake manifolds ? I need one powder coated for my beater (6 cyl Probe), but I hate all the shops around here that do this stuff....if yes about how much would you charge ? I really like the work you do.

How big is it? If it fits in my oven, I can do it. is it rough cast like the Z manifold? If so, would you want it sanded smooth first? Would you sand it smooth before sending.

If I just have to clean and coat it, $100
If you need it sanded smooth first, $200
plus shipping.
2003z@350zfrenzy.com if you want to discuss it further.

Mike

probably, the brembos turn brown and I don't remember what kit mcclaskz had, but his bbk turned black on the track. I think G2 is the best bet for the track, its supposed to be good to 1200, I think. If I were doing MY brembos with G2, I would still strip them using paint stripper, stripping wheels, dremel, etc, like I do to powdercoat, then paint them. Actually, before the G2 I would put a powdercoat primer on them for grins, but it wouldn't be necessary.

I'm fairly easy on the brakes on the track, my red brembo logo on my original finish never even changed colors, so it won't be a problem for me.
