Engines, intakes, valve covers are painted so why not your intake????

For exhaust manifolds......I use Eastwood high temp exhaust man paint.

Works awesome.

He said "them." I believe he's talking about exhaust manifolds rather than an intake.

High temp ceramic coatings are going to be your best bet. I'd love to help you out with them but I got out of ceramic coatings a couple years ago ... the shipping costs were just too prohibitive for my customers.

There are high temp powder coats now, maybe Leanna can shed some light on this for you.

Do you not want to do natural because it doesn't last long or do you want a different look? This stuff works good for natural: http://calyxmanifold.com/

High temp cosmetic powders are only good to about 1200 degrees at most, and we all know exhaust temps get much higher than that. They'll last for awhile but you'll eventually get the cracking, peeling and flaking we've all seen under the hood.
