What color to powdercoat my Steeda CAI?
I'm putting my order in Monday for the CAI, and ever since I saw Modshack's PC'ed heat shield that got me thinking about doing something similar.
Right now, the general idea I have for the intake is to do the MAF housing a satin black finish, then have the heat shield done in Kona blue. I'm also going to swap the clamps for a set of Sure stealth clamps (here) and keep it looking a little more low-key.
I'm not 100% sold on the color choices, mainly because I haven't found a PC place that has a close match to Kona. I can see this being a challenge, but I haven't looked yet (I will on Mon). What other color options might work, and what do you think of my rough idea?

Steve, I wish you were closer. I'd just have you do it.

Canada gets pricey....8 lb box via express mail is about $55-60 from here to you..Priority mail about $35-40 (both avoid Tariffs and Duties it seems from my experience)

Steve, I still am definitely interested in the MAF housing. I found out a friend of mine recently started at a coating shop locally, so he was looking into it for me, and found nothing. I don't know what a paint quote would be for that shield might be though.

Any good painter should be able to handle the MAF tube too...Just a different prep coat for the aluminum...
