I was cleaning red off the floor counters everything lol It was too cold for the paint to hold outside though. Also I'm not sure if I'm going to strip it back off and redo or let the runs and imperfections stay or even make more. It creates a red/black blended look I'm actually kinda liking it. Will decide which route I'm taking tomorrow once I have more paint.

Thanks for the looking in. BTW I did not sand it I did however use prep spray which I already had and alcohol to get all the oil from my hands off of it. Didn't want to sand it because if I ever want to go back to polish I can just strip the paint



As you can see on the left the blackish red blended line that's what I'm referring too and it does actually give a lot of unique colors in it almost like a pearlescent
I was going to suggest some wrinkle red paint, but i guess im late to the party.

I used wrinkle red paint on an intake once and came out great! Lasted a while too

Intakes look good btw
