Paint Question - Engine Bay - 03 Cobra

[SC Heaven]

I just picked up an Accufab SBTB and Plenum for my 03 Cobra. I am very anti-chrome in my engine bay and the Accufab plenum is fairly 'blingy' to say the least. I am not going to bother with the throttle body, but would like to paint the plenum to be as 'invisible' as possible.

Was looking for advice / suggestions on a high temp paint that will closely match the stock blower / plenum finish. The factory paint is a bit of a matte gray. Picture is not of my engine bay, just for reference of the color / finish I am looking for.

Also, if this is the wrong forum, please feel free to redirect me.


Thanks all :coolman:

Is this DIY? You should be fine with the hi-temp paints available at your local parts store -- spray them to test their color as the cap is only a general idea

Yeah, will be DIY. Just thought I would reach out to see if anyone had done something similar. Don't think I will realistically find a perfect match, just hoping for something close. But that is a good idea, I will go check out the VHT stuff at a few places.

I replied to your post in the terminator section.

what about painting the eaton/inlet/tb all the same color?

Haha! That's my engine bay! Stumbled across this thread during a Google search
