yeah, masking tape and a razor to trim. I actually thought about getting fancy with this and laying black paint in the recesses but then I remembered how much of a pain in the ass that was when I did the Towncar valve covers and bailed on it. It involves loads of masking and trimming since each raised fin needs to be taped off, plus the entire smooth area. The original sales stuff i have from 84 has the engine all silver, so thats what its getting.
Intake is painted. Not entirely satisfied with how this came out. I decided to go for it last night because the humidity dropped. As I was in the process of painting it began to rain so the humidity went through the roof. Don't know if thats why, or if its just a rougher casting that soaks up paint. Might let this cure a while and give it another coat or two.
In the meantime, the paint is drying on the timing cover.
