I'm in the process of painting my exhaust and intake manifolds. While I was at it, I blasted and repainted the air filter cover black. I want to add a little character to it by painting a six on it somewhere. Should I do one big six across the whole thing? Or a bunch of little sixes around one of the rings? /6 225-2? I'm going to do it in red, high temp paint. I figure I can spray the paint onto something, them use a paintbrush.
Here are some pictures.

I'd say one big six, a bunch of small ones would look tacky IMO. Why don't you make a template using cardboard/paper/etc, or use tape to mark the outline of the six and just spray it direct? I remember trying to use spraypaint in a cup then brushing it on, and it didn't work so well, too thin to brush.

Lightly scuff the black, especially if its gloss, so the red sticks.

How about these?

It Aint Over Until I Win

I am dying to tell people how I custom fabbed mine- but I want it to be a surprise. I'll post pictures once it is completed.

I've been playing around with a design for a custom air filter housing. A stainless fab shop that my company does business with has a water jet machine that does some nice work. Thing is...I'm working on a dual 1bbl set-up, so I've been trying to design a single housing that will sit on both carbs...and use an off-the-shelf air cleaner. Since I haven't picked one up yet, does anyone have the carb center-to-center distance of an Offy dual intake??

Thanks,
