Default Painted Throttle Body

Anyone think about or actually did paint their throttle body?

I was thinking about using my extra caliper paint to take it off and paint it...

Do you have spray or brush? If spray, I say go for it. If brush, no. It will look cheesy.

When you powdercoated it, did you have to gut the inside before baking it? I thought about doing this as well, but got nervous at the thought of taking it apart and putting it back together.

Thanks,
