what about my question on the painting the spongier interior?
I wouldn't use paint on it, Ericksaint is right; use vinal dye.
As for the metalcast, for plastic you will have to use the groundcoat (its just a bright silver paint). If you are going to use it on a bare metal surface ie: intake plenum; you can use the metalcast alone. You do not need to use a clear topcoat, for the metalcast comes out very shiny, as you can see in the pic I posted. If you use the groundcoat with the metalcast, it ends up turning out more like a really bright blue paint and not like a candy-apple color like on my plenum. I used the groundcoat on my oil cap, P/S fluid cap, etc....

Its kinda hard to tell but the oil filler cap doesn't have quite as deep a color as the plenum.
I was going to do a how-to up on polishing the plenum and valve cover, but I do not have any good pics of the progress as I did it. If anyone is interested anyway, drop me an e-mail and I can do a write-up on it.
