Default Hydra dipping

I wanted to give my engine compartment a bit of a face lift so after seeing some parts that had been hydra dipped I decided to try it. This is how it came out. Let me know what you think.

I had a guy do all 4 pieces for $250. He ground the intake smooth then used a high build primer to get it slick after that was done he sprayed the base coat, dipped it in the CF print then sprayed everything with a few coats of clear.

It is good to 250 degrees. The guy that did it showed me a LS intake that he did on his Camaro 3 years ago and it still looked nice.
