How Hot does the intake manifold get?

I am going to have my intake professional painted and airbrush some flames on it, will regular auto paint work or do I need high temp paint

Thanks

You can put your hand on it while at full operating temperature.

So the top at least doesn't get very hot at all.

Heat soak is a non-issue due to the composite materials of the intake. Nice work GM.
