air cleaner paint opinions
I am sure there are many members in the past that have used the old Cadillac air cleaners for their projects. But the first time I seen one was on Spike38's project. I really liked it and ordered me one off ebay. I wanted opinions on paint color from fellow members. I am thinking about going Torch red to match my truck and white through the middle where the chrome is on the pic below. I am thinking of kinda doing the Cheyenne paint scheme, but on the air cleaner. What do you guys think? Go for it, or all red, or leave it black?

Re: air cleaner paint opinions
I say go for it. Matching the truck is cool. If it were my truck I'd paint it black or if the engine had a theme I'd match it to that in some way. Under the hood I usually break away from what's going on outside. But that's me and I appreciate what others do

Re: air cleaner paint opinions
Outside I am going stock and interior I am going stock super. But I wanted to play under the hood. Just got my lunati cam yesterday. Just a mild street cam, but I was thinking the red/white air cleaner would be different and turn a few heads maybe. Thanks for the input Special K!

Re: air cleaner paint opinions
Still looking for more options. I am leaning to black with red in center now.

Re: air cleaner paint opinions
Is there any issue clearing the distributor?

Re: air cleaner paint opinions
It is aftermarket. The originals had an issue if you convert them, but these have a spot made to clear HEI.
