Bruce,???? I have done my intake manifolds in Jet Hot coating.? They have a
light silver that looks aluminum or actually any color you want.? It also keeps
the heat from the engine bay out of the intake. Bonus.Jet-Hot High Performance

interested in my options for finishing my intake manifold.? It was powder
coated clear 12 years ago, and the coating has yellowed at the head flanges
from heat, and over the years what look like rust spots have developed in the
powder coat, which is odd since the manifold is cast aluminum (see the attached
photo). ?I?d prefer to preserve the natural cast aluminum color, and I?m not a
big fan of the chrome or polished look on the intake (my apologies to all you
out there with nice shiny intake manifolds?it?s just not my taste).? I had the
exhaust manifold Jet-Hot coated in a cast iron gray 12 years ago, and they
still look great.? So, Jet-Hot coating the intake is one option, but the color
samples they sent me of their lightest grays are all at best a medium gray; all
considerably darker than their online color catalogue indicates.? I?m going to
call them Monday, but I?m not sure they have a coating light enough. ?I also
don?t want to paint it, as I know that won?t hold up long term.? I?m curious
about blasting the clear powder coat off and leaving the manifold uncoated.?
How does the ?naked? aluminum hold up to the heat?? What have others done??
Your experience is appreciated. ?Bruce SteeleBrea, CA1960 BN7 ?
