Author Topic: GT-40 prep? silver n black ¯ Member # 8369 posted                              I just scored me a upper in lower GT-40 tubular intake. I was wonder what would be the best way to getting it look like new again. Should I sand blast it n paint it or just get it poweder coated, what are the pros n cons.
