As far as spraying inside, the paint is enamel not typical wicker basket rattle can spray so there is not going to be any kind of flaking unless there is something scraping it off on the inside which also would need to be pretty sharp to do so.
That all sounds reasonable to me

I for one have nothing against DIY bang-for-buck projects. There's plenty of commercial products where you pay for crap or overpay for something that could be assembled/obtained for far less. If you've put thought into it and it works, you are set.

Bought or home made, tho', you might think about swapping back in stock airboxes, getting a baseline dyno, and then dyno testing yours to ensure it is working as desired.

If you do, and can get hold of some K&N filters, you could have a three way shoot out.
