So the 400 is silver spruce, what do you think about this color for the intake manifolds, valve covers, water crossovers, anything that's easily removed from the spare 1uz I'm working on?

color would look good in an engine bay. looks kinda like it has a slight pearl effect too.

Shern, you're in AZ right? If so, where did you go to get the polishing and powder coating done?

No powder coat, just paint with clear coat. I've had this setup for about 2 years now with no issues, even in the hot *** desert. My paint guy that did the work was amazing so prep had a lot to do with it. Unfortunately Tim (who did a lot of work for other Lexus owners here in the valley) moved away and we're still looking for somebody........

Yea Shern, that does look good. I was thinking instead of painting everything copper metallic, to kinda mix it up with some gloss black accents, but then again I have the v8 so it'd look a lot different, and the contrast with the body paint would be different, but I think it'd look good overall
