Default Painting Intake Manifold 5TH Gen. 3.1
I was thinking about painting my aluminum intake black with blue lettering, using engine block enamel paint. Any body ever tried this??

make sure you use high temp, you can use these as an example, mine are powdercoated tho



Or you can always polish it like my other manifold, still needs some work to shine her up tho!

Just be prepared for some terrible smells when you install it & the engine gets hot
