I know this is old but if you still keep an eye on it can you tell my what brand paint you got and where?

Thanks!

I can guess. If you can find an engine paint color you like, use that. It's tough, heat resistant and I've had great experience with it.

Thanks guys!

I would like to try that "hammered" look paint. Do you think I could get away with some high temp as a base coat and then the hammered on top or vise versa?

I'm sure you could get away with it, the plenum doesnt get crazy hot. IF you go ISO-Thermal with MREV it stays even cooler
