Actually, all of those pix were exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to figure out what I can do while its out and also what looks best when its finished.

Mine is high temp paint.
- It's certainly easier b/c it's DIY. To powdercoat the cam tower would have meant removing the cam, etc.
- I painted it about a year ago and it's held up well but I imagine powdercoating would be more durable.
- My intake has yellowed some but I think that's the high temp clearcoat I used. I'm probably going to try respraying with silver only.
- Total cost was ~$15 for a couple of cans of paint.
I figured I'd try the paint first and if I wasn't satisfied then I'd strip it and have it powdercoated. So far I haven't felt a need to change it.
