Hey guys im in the middle of doing my mini me swap. I painted my fuel rail without putting some sort of bonding agent, the paint didnt take at all!!. My question is are their any internals in a fuel rail i could damage with paint thinner??

Nope, it's just solid aluminum. Use an enamel instead of a lacquer paint, it will resist fuel better.
