Yes, but I'd have it polished first. That'll give it the nice and smooth texture. sxexcx offers great polishing services at great prices. Should be around $50-$75.

^what he said.

If you want the black to look smooth to match your intake, it needs to be polished before you coat it. Since the polishing doesnt need to be a mirrir finish, I could do it pretty cheap. Let me know.

The upper plenum can be powdercoated. I had mine done in gloss black with a Nismo CAI. It doesn't have to be polished beforehand if you don't mind the orange peel texture although I think it would look better if you did. I'll vouch for the quality of Sean's polishing work.

You can polish without the mirror finish? How's that look by itself?
