intake manifold paint

[302stangGT]

i just got my intake today, and the guy i bought it from said that after he hot tanked it, he gave it a high-temp white color, and he wasnt kidding. the thing is way to white for my car tho. if i get it hot tanked again will the white come off, or would it be easier to just paint over it?

Yeah you can have it hot tanked and it will take the paint off. Or have it bead blasted. Why in the world we he paint it white? That would look terrible on most cars.
