Default Anyone have pics of a painted intake manifold???

Well i feel like a noob asking this question but does anyone have any pictures of painted intake manifolds?

The whole purpose of me asking is that when my manifold was new it looked pretty good, but now age has gotten the best of it. id like to paint it a differnt color, and id just like to know if anyone else has ever done this. maybe someone can give me some words of advise. thanks.

Duplicolor makes a couple different silvers that would look OEM. Otherwise flat black would be my next choice.
