Has anyone painted a throttle body?
I am about to buy a Vmax and I am having some other parts painted Synergy Green so my painter said he'd hook me up if I wanted to paint the TB as well.
I was going to just pay the extra $50 to have RX paint it but if I can save $50, I would rather save it.

You bought a black powdercoated one or painted yours black?

I paid the extra $50 and it turned out a shade off. It's an OK job, I just would've liked it a little nicer. The clearcoat isn't polished out much. I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but I would rate it an 85 out of a 100. Just sayin.

Excellent. Thanks man. I think I'll just have my painter shoot it so it matches the other green parts.

I just ordered my Vmax and paid the extra 50 bucks to get it painted Summit White. Hopefully it turns out of from RX.

Its a good deal imo.
I paint and can tell you that their quality and finish is def worth more than the $50 that they charge. Ive yet to get one out that didn't look fantastic! And their available in just about every color....not just Camaro colors. Ivan |
