I used the same paint I used on my calipers. Worked great. I'd throw some tape over the sensor/line fittings just be on the safe side but there should be no adverse effects at all. Shoot it with some clear, too. The paint will really pop then.

I painted mine with just normal automotive paint...I covered all the holes and made sure nothing actually got in the intake itself...I made like 3 coats of black spray paint, and then used like 4 coats of gloss. Turned out perfect and nothing effected the car except for looks.

I painted mine. I just used duplicolor high temp paint. Sanded it, then primered it, painted it and then cleared the hell out of it! I also did the fuel rails.
