		<description>How about hand colouring the Alfa Romeo Logo in black once you&#039;re done?  Or the reverse with logo in red?  Of just sand the paint off the letters to reveal the bare metal and then give it a poly coat of some kind? 

It works for Lamborghini &amp; Ferrari.</description>

		<description>That was the comic relief I needed this afternoon!  Great LOLs from me here in S.A. ! ! ! 

I needed that relief as I spent more than an hour replacing the little fog light bulbs in my Maxima.  The how-to I researched &amp; finally found on the Internet, was not the same as in real life.  I finally figured it out, but not without some frustration.  End result though is that I&#039;ve got my fog lights working fine.

And I thought doing some work on my car would have been a good relief from my &lt;a href=&quot;http://racingready.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt; theme maintenance...oh well!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m planning on it, Alex, once I get a finish I&#039;m happy with.  Am tossing up between sanding it back and leaving it, or painting it white.

And thanks for the use of &quot;plenum&quot;.  I hate it when the correct terms escape me.

And as an indicator to how bad this engine needs a wash.....that fat intake pipe going into the plenum from the air mass meter is currently a very light grey in color.  That&#039;s dust.  It should be black.  It&#039;ll all look a whole lot different when it&#039;s done properly.</description>

		<description>Ever think of sanding off the paint raised lettering and designs on the plenum?  That should be cheap and it would do a great job of breaking up the red-ness of the intake while making it look totally OEM at the same time.</description>

		<description>This same thing happened to me when I repainted the bumper on my Thunderbird...but I knew it was going to happen.  It was either $30/pint Omni paint, or $170/pint color-matched, and I am very poor.

So, now my car is a light pinkish-red, and my front bumper is blazing, fires-of-hell red.  Actually, the bumper is a much cooler color than the rest of the car...

I really wish I didn&#039;t have a red car.</description>

		<description>What would be so shocking about an Italian car with crabs??

Bernard, I&#039;d love to powdercoat and I might look into it in terms of cost, etc, but this car is low budget, so $30 on cans of paint (2) seemed expensive enough.  It was degreased, though not primed.

DB, doesn&#039;t that paint shop down the road from you custom aerosols?  I might give them a call next week.</description>

		<description>Swade,

That looks kind of cool. How did you prep it? I hope it was fully degreased and primed.

I personally would have tried &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powder_coating&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;powder coating&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
