Default Fast intake gasket?

I am currently putting ls6 heads on my car and was going to paint my Fast intake manifold. I took the fuel rails off then the top half of the intake and there is an orange gasket. Now my questions is do i need to replace it or can i re-use it? Also if anyone has painted there intake before what paint works best? Thanks

The gasket is reusable. Just be sure it stays in place when you put the intake back together. I used regular krylon on mine and it is holding up fairly well. You may want to use the krylon fusion as it is formulated to adhere to plastic.

would it be ok to pull that gasket out and clean yp the bottom portion of the intake and then put it back in?
