I wanted to paint my magnum air gap but I don't think I can get to the underside of the manifold between the valley cover. So I think I'm just going to leave it alone and let it just get cruddy looking. It's own kind of patina if you will.

Clear coat holds up very well on intake manifolds. But not the spray bomb stuff. You need the 2 part gun clear. Flattening agent will knock the level of gloss down if you want. And, as always, the durability is tied to the prep. Glass beading is about the best prep I have found.
Master, again and still

I've had very good results with VHT Engine Enamel clear in a spray bomb, but all the VHT paints work well in my experience.

Had my intake & valve covers clear coated, didn't last long after a few jet changes the paint stained and won't come clean Central Conn coatings, http://www.centralctcoatings.com/ did a great job with my headers at a great price. So either I will strip them and run them bare or ceramic coat.

..powder coated. Easy to clean, no oxidation. I disagree after having one intake and a set of cast aluminum valve covers powder coated on one of my old race motors, that coating holds the heat into the parts horribly, not worth doing on any motor you want to make power, cooler air and fuel make more power Maybe... but I'll be running e85, and have a fresh air scoop. I'm not worried about a few degrees of supposed heat retention. Whatever floats your boat. I'm not talking about a few degrees, I'm talking about having 110 F uncoated versus 190 + F coated after a run The powder coating kept the heat in the intake manifold and valve covers a log time after a run also That is how I found about it doing that Money wasted on trying to make the engine better looking with the hood off at the races
