^^^Damn that looks good, I couldnt get the wrinkle black to look that good on my FMIC piping. Kudos. Prep hints? I am doing my manny black when I do my TGVs/inlet/rails in mid-June.
Thanks! It really tied everything together in that project.

FMIC Piping would be hard... unless you roughed them up a LOT.
Basically I stripped the finish off the manifold with a wire wheel, and used a dremel to get the tight spots. Blew off the excess dust with air, then wiped it down really well with a cloth and acetone. Let it dry, did that again. Let it dry, then sprayed in the sun. The wrinkle works 100x better if you let it dry in the sunlight. I rotated it 180deg halfway through the drying to get the other side exposed to the light as well.
I'm torn between doing a silver mani with black brackets, hardware, and caps, or doing a black mani with silver brackets.
Here's what it looks like now... dingy and corroded!
