Re: Painting / detailing the Intake System...
If you mean the pipes that go into the intake manifold, lettered Alpina, where the paint flakes off, I believe to do this properly you have to remove them and have them coated properly. Charles will be able to give better advice on how / who can do this.

Hi,
Yes, that's exactly it. I was hoping for a simpler way, without removing it, but guess it makes sense to remove it.
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
