Anybody know how hot the intakes will get? It is turbo. I am wondering if the 300 degree paint will work or if I have to go with 1200 degree. The 300 degree has the color I want and the 1200 degree doesnt. If I have to go with 1200 I will find some good paint somewhere....

Your intake won't get hotter than your engine runs. Eg. 160-190 degrees.

I doubt that it would ever get to 190 anyways. It has air running through it.

You'd be fine with 300 degree paint. Or even car paint.
