Default Painted Throttle Body done (pics)

Just finished painting the throttle body, fuel rails and the plenum cover ribs... Looks pretty good... I put the TPS sensor back on for picture purposes but there is still a broken screw jammed in there grrrr...

Yea I used the leftover brake caliper paint to keep everything the same shade of red... Just took a brush and took my time and gave it a few coats...

There twice the size of my 24" monitor. I had to save them on my computer just so I can make them small enough to see.

But anyway, it looks great, good job!
