Cool Pipes revisited

I finally got around to painting the CAC pipes after I removed the foil from the hot side.
As it usually does one thing led to another and I found all sorts of fun parts to paint.

I couldn't think of a better color than International red!
I really did impress myself with my pinstripe/lettering skills.
Now I need to ditch the blue boots for a black set and some chrome clamps and I'll be pimpin'

Kwikk,
The sleeper oil cap is kinda an inside joke between me and Kris.
I call it the sleepr oil cap because on my last oil change i got a tad heavy handed and broke the top off the cap so now it's just the lower, recessed portion of the cap left, therefore it's kinda hidden and shazzam the "Sleeper Cap" is born

I guess no-one likes the new look, 70 views and only two posts?

Oh well I think it's
