Painting intake manifold with rattle can?
I was thinking about painting my intake manifold with some high temp rattle dupli color.
Will paint stick to it well? Intake manifold is textured plastic so I was kinda worried about paint not being able to stick.
If anyone has done this, some pictures or tips would be great.
Thanks for your input.

If you clean it really good, and than use an adhesive promoter and than use the high temp paint you shouldn't have any problems. You have to use the promoter for the paint to adhere properly to the plastic or whatever the manifold is made of. Painted my plenum cover months ago and no problems with flaking paint. Also used some high temp clear coat over the paint.
