Default intake manifold pics and advise 3 dr

Hi guys im looking at tidying up the intake manifold on my 3dr and debating on various ways to tackle it
I want to try and make it look as close to factory as possible with an original look rather than a change of colour etc.
I was thinking of spraying it with ally paint, has anyone done this and how has it lasted etc any probs with paint flaking etc.
I was also thinking of powder coating not so sure about this though. If any of you could let me know what you did and pics as well please i would be very greatful
thanks
Paul

High temp primer, easily obtained. And then high temp radiator paint. Will look factory, but better is you get me.

Here's two Ive powder coated before:





and here's the latest one:


Ive got another silver colour, but my son decided the "Near Chrome" would look good and I painted it that colour. Powder coating is the better option IMO (As I have the equipment lol)
