Default Powder coat FAST intake or Paint

I'm not sure but I've seen a guy who can powder coat plastic intakes.

I've considered painting it but don't want a flaking off.

If it was me I would totally powdercoat.

I used to apply powdercoat on industrial signs at my previous job and NOTHING will take that stuff off if it is applied and prepped correctly of course. . . . only downside is color selection.

I would powder coat just the top shell of the intake, it'll look killer.

I'm a little torn on color,

1. Black
2. Silver
3. Blue

All are simple colors. I like the powder coat blue but it all depends on cost.

No looking forward to sanding.

It's going on your white I'm assuming right? Blue would look awesome.

If I paint it, it'll be black. If powder coat it'll be Blue.

I'm doing a 30th theme to it with 30th stripes and all so the blue would look sharp. My engine bay will be very nice, I just got a polished Meziere, arp polished bolts, etc...
