[Turbo Keith]

Bout to install some 100lbs springs and while I have covers off gonna give them some TLC , Not sure I wanna paint them or not just a good cleaning . Tell me what I need ?

If you want to to look like stock I would bead blast them. Cleaners work but you lose the stock appearance after that.

Sand/beed blast and powder coat.

I just did the valve springs as well. I had mine powder coated as well as the PTE plenum.
The color is anodized aluminum with gloss coat. Looks kind of factory, but shiny.

dang yours look great , i had mine bead blasted and painted them with the same hi temp paint i used on my turbo cover . My plenum will come off soon so i can make it match .
