CAI painted?

Hey,

I didnt find any one painting their CAI. Is there a specific reason for that?

I want to see, how it looks with a painted CAI. Any one have photos

What part the tube or enclosure? There are several types of both out there. I have seen some housings painted or carbon fibered. I have seen some tubes Chrome, CF and plain black

I think your car is red, they sell VR at the parts store. Duplicolor and some clear.

I used the Dupli color in the link below for all my painting. It comes with GM factory colors.
