I looking to paint mine this weekend.

What kind of paint did you use, and
How many coats of paint did you spray on it?

Damn, everyone is paining their intakes silver now!

Thats the way to do it!

Here is a pic of mine too.
For prep,
sanded with 150grit on a narrow sanding block to remove the 3 circles on each runner. then worked my way from 220wet-800wet. Took probably 3-4 hours. Then I had it Base/Cleared. Paint just like your car. Ive gone 5000 miles in 2 months, and its holding up very well.

There is just a little advise from another person that has done it.
