I want some aluminum paint to freshen up my fuel rails and my intake base. I saw some high temp crap at the local autoparts store, but it said something about not properly hardening until it cures.

I was hoping to get a more conventional type paint, like maybe an engine paint, or whatever. What type of aluminum paint have you guys used on intakes, and how well did it hold up?

Jim, I just used Por15's engine enamel on my engine. I can't imagine this stuff not lasting a good long while. It makes the intake damn near look/feel powdercoated. Everything else I've tried wore off throughout the summer. Granted I haven't even ran the engine yet, but the difference in feel is remarkable.
