Since I will be pulling my Performer intake to repair an oil leak I was thinking of having it color powder coated metallic gold and clear top coated.

Is this a durable underhood finish?

Any tips on what type of product and procedure to follow. I will be having this done at a local High Performance Coating shop. But would like to be informed.

Is this a good or bad idea? I am already having custom gold metallic powder coated valve covers and 14" open air cleaner assembly top fabricated.

Thanks,
John

I know this is an old post and you got no responses. Did you ever do this to your intake, and if so, how do you like it?

I had my intake polished instead.

My custom air cleaner top and the top of the 2 piece valve covers are powder coated.

Looks great! Polishing was probably a better idea. I believe painting an aluminum intake defeats the purpose of having the alumminum on top of the engine. The paint holds heat in.

Thanks,
