Dim Sum Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Just wondering if anyone tried matching the colour of the HKS Purple? I know its anodized colour but has anyone tried matching it with paint? I heard in powder coating, the closest colour is dormant purple. So anyone else ever searched on the colour?

Dnk Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Take a sample of the colour you want to a car repair shop with colour charts and a paint scheme and they can match any colour you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It would be interesting to learn how much power has been lost from hot air induction via a flexi-pipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsnlvxr Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's only a very temp fix as we wanted to get it running for a show we had booked. It's all solid pipework now - - - Updated - - - Although I would think it wouldn't be noticeable at the speed it must draw air in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
