JoKeR Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 As you can see, my upper plenum don't look too great, it ruins the look when you open the hood! I was wondering if this can be painted and given a chrome finish? I don't think I will be doing the paint job myself as I want I to look good but is it safe to paint it and give it that chrome finish? I'm happy removing and fitting it myself. Has anyone else had this done and at what cost and how long did it take start to finish? Thanks :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 You can paint it of course but for a truly brilliant shine you can't beat a Wasso polished plenum.

Tinyflier Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 My plenum is satin black - which I think works well with the general carbon themed look (other opinions DO exist!) David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzard27 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 can you not use normal paint? how hot does the plenum get? really wanted it painted Azure blue to match the car but they wont do high temp paint in that colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrybiker Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Mine is painted in high temp Matt black but normal paint should be fine as your plenum doesn't get too hot Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
