I had speed inc do mine. They completely smoothed it. Not sure if they primed it or not, but I would think that they did. PM me your email address and I will send you pics.

You'll need to sand it with 400 grit first. Just enough to etch the surface. Use brake cleaner to wash off any residue, and make sure to put on plenty of clear. Let it sit untouched for at least a day. The paint should cure in about a week. The BEST tip... take your time and use high quality masking tape and paint. Good luck!!!

My pal owns a bodyshop.
He degreased my intake, used a scuff pad instead of sandpaper (I wasn't looking for a smooth finish, just something not black), & used regular color coat/clear coat paint.
