I have the red Perrin intake. My red bar will be here next week. I can post pics when I install it if you'd like.

Painting the triangulation bars red is a good idea and I think I'll do that as well. Thanks for whoever posted that.

Thanks for posting about your paint test. I was going to spray my triangulation bars before I recieved my bar from you. I have held off now.
Do you have any pictures of how different it is with the VHT wrinkle red? If it's pretty close, I may try the idea you had with thinner coats.

Or option #2

Is there anyone in the group buy getting the red brace, who already has the red Perrin intake? Could you post a picture of the colour difference when you receive your brace? They look very close in separate pictures (see below), but they're different pictures, with different lighting, etc, etc.

I have the Perrin intake on my list and I will likely be ordering within the next week or two. I figure, if they are close in colour, I'll try to make the tri-bars half way between in colour. If it's really far off, I may wait until I recieve the Perrin intake, then send all three braces to a powder coater to have them all match the intake precisely.

I'll post up some pictures with whatever route I take.

Cheers all!
