Unless you have a weiand manifold, i don't think you can powdercoat composite intakes. i would just get it painted.

They dont have a powder that is close enough for Sebring Silver. You are deff better off with a nice color matched paint. Plus the prep work for powdercoating kind of sucks. I have done a few with my friends setup.

I saw a powdercoated intake at PRI and it looked good.
