this seems like a good idea in my head

but im not sure if itle actually work. i would really like to have my plenum and runners powder coated to a gloss black or semi gloss black, but im not too sure if u can powder coat engine items because of the heat.

I powdercoated the upper & lower plenum on my V6 & have had no problems. Hope this helps.

I powdered coated my MiniRam. Well worth it. Always looks good and cleans off easy. It's been on my motor for 5 or 6 years now.

Yes you can powder coat anything i have had a set of exhaust pipes on my bike done in black for the last 3 years still looks great.Think about it they bake it on in a oven it likes heat and they have a high temp one also.

You could also "Jet Hot" your parts. Jet hot comes in different colors.

Do it, you'll love it no matter what colour you pick. I did mine a gunmetal gray, 2 years ago and it still looks awesome.

Spray on Duplicolor gloss black engine enamel.

I've done intake manifolds and valve covers and different things like that. If you need help with it, I'll help where I can.

I had the inside of my intake manifold, runners and plenum coated with a themal barrier coating as used on headers. I had the outside of each coated with a black heat dispersent coating. The intake charge is down a minimum of 10 degrees.
