how would i go about painting the plenum on my 05 vz executive? is it hard to take off and what would be needed to clean it up properly so the paint would stick to it. any help would be great thanx.

heres a pic of wat iv'e done so far. i want to paint the plenum black.

You would need to use heat resistant paint

its a 10 min job, just ensure you remove all the hoses and plugs, also you will need gasket goo for the Throttle body when you remove it

You don't need heat proof paint, preperation is key though. Why not go to a wreckers and see if they will swap for a black one
