Powder coat TPI plenum and runners?
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 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.

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.
