Not an intake, but I recently had my hood hinges blasted and powder coated. BIG mistake. While they came out looking incredible, I basically glued the joints together. Had to squish them down to function, exposing all the un-powdered areas. Lesson: you must take apart moving parts to powder coat, and if they have rivets, like hinges, dont bother, 2K would've been way better. Dope.
The hinges are not to be painted. If you have a lot of friction between the hinge joint your going to seize the hinge and bend the hinge flange. The hood will look popped up at the rear.
