It seems like you'd need to send the manifold out to be powder coated. I wouldn't paint the plastic coil packs. It looks good standing out in black.

And what Can I do myself on the manifold? That thing is a mess, and I do not want to polish it again like I did once before (I sold it). I would love to paint it, but I want to smooth it out, and that would be a HUGE PAIN

I was thnking of painting the packs the same blue... Or and the Manifold the same blue?

Lots of blue though... I am not so sure now.

I just know that the manifold looks like crap the way it is right now... Even painted silver would be cool to me

Problem with painting engine stuff is it never looks good after about 6 months. Great for show cars but when you drive them a lot not so much. If you still had that polished intake manifold that would have gone together real nice!!

Agreed, blue would be too much.

But as Moose stated already, polished intake would look sweet.

Cost you about $600-800

I used a place called Southwest Polish in Mesa, AZ Might be Gilbert.

He did a great great job
