Anyone paint their IM??

I have a spare intake for my car that I am sandblasting, and was thinking of powdercoating it after that. I just wondered if anyone has done such a thing, and if so what color? I was thinking either black , or maybe just painting it the color of my car (arctic silver). Just wanted to see what other people's opinions are.. Thanks

No, Im talking about the Intake manifold itself, upper , lower, and the plenum.

And wpgrexx, thatd be cool if you could find pics, I will try and search also...

I was looking for something maybe a little more bright and shiney, but all in all nice job..

I think Ive decided to paint most of the under hood aluminum including the Intake Manifolds Gloss Black I think the contrast between this and some polished aluminum stuff (strut bar, etc...) would be pretty nice looking.
