paint for the throttle body

I also, would be interested.

 

You could try the VHT Red wrinkle, but the color match is the question. Who knows, it might be close enough, if used in small areas.

 

Oh..... Well then, I guess I'd start looking at various "Red" hi-temp paints (which, I suppose, you already have). Or, you could be like me: Have a timing belt drive fail, then after you've pulled the engine to replace 16 valves, you'll have a great opportunity to repaint the whole plenum! There's a silver lining to every cloud.....Maybe that's not the best way.

 

Hi.

Maybe a good idea would be to paint it with a standard red -with the matching colour, of course- and after with a textured clear paint, as the SEM 40853.

Too much work? Maybe it worth it.
I've painted my airbox with the SEM black texturized paint and is OK.

It's VERY easy to take it off and clean it up and put it back, only a short time with simple tools, I didn't even get dirty when I did mine. I didn't paint it though, I did polish it.

My Mondial QV's plenum is also chipped up a bit. The paint almost looks like 'hammartone' red. You might give that a try when you do the full refinish. Until then, just touch it up with generic red paint. FWIW, my Mondial QV is Rosso Corsa and the front spoiler is rock dinged pretty badly. I have found that the Guards Red model car paint is an all-but perfect match.
