Looks good. Not too sure about the painted intake though. What type of paint did you use?

Nice rob. Not sure on the colour though. A darker blue (aka my car) would be a my pic, as it's closer to what we all call 'Ford blue'.

What did you end up doing with the rocker cover? Get a second one like you wanted?

Cheers

i used VHT paint except for rocker cover which is a touch up spray can color coded to my car(liquid silver) with VHT clear. as for time between coats,about 5-10 minutes.i didnt take much notice of time between coats as i was fitting front footwell lights and ignition barrel light at the same time.
