Looking for any tips or tricks to painting a plastic pi intake, do they hold paint well?
Use engine paint or that krylon plastic paint?

I painted mine with Krylon yesterday. I just cleaned it off and roughed it up with some 1000-grit sandpaper.

I don't have high expectations for it's resistance to engine heat, so if you want to wait a week or two I'll let you know how it holds up.

Sorry for the late reply. The paint still looks great.
