mercuryman Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Should I paint the fuel rails on this or leave them natural brass? I'm kinda leaning towards leaving them. Kinda gives a little color splash to the engine. The tubes will be painted engine color. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Sweet looking motor.. I'd leave them natural, looks great already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you are going to leave the fuel rails in their natural brass finish (kind of like gold anodized aluminum), I would suggest cleaning them, to remove your finger oils, which will cause raw brass to tarnish over time, then clear coating them, to prevent tarnish.

cruz Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 If you leave them in brass it will create another nice contrast with the rest of the parts, good idea about clearing them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercuryman Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 where you get the intake frum It's the optional intake from the 67 galaxie. It came chromed, but after sanding the parting lines off, there wasn't much chrome left. So I stripped the parts and just painted them.
