Painting K&N CAI Intake Tubes ??
 

Has anyone had long lasting results painting the metal intake tubes?

Painting metal tubes is a normal occurrence. Proper prep and good painting technique will give a solid finish. I suggest actual automotive paint over spray cans if you can swing it.
Of course, powdercoating is the preferred method of coating metal tubing.

High Temp Spray Paint?
 

I was thinking just hi-temp engine paint, with sanding lightly and engine primer?
Sound okay? What is the advantage of powder coating?

I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'll most likely, user error aside, be successful.

Powdercoating is much more durable. You also have access to certain finishes, such as wrinkle finishes, that just aren't equally achievable through paint.
VHT Wrinkle coat doesn't come close to matching the appearance and durability of powdercoat as an example.

Thanks
 

Appreciated.

ive powder coated mine to match wheels and both braces. love it!

I'm getting mine powdercoated as well in a few weeks pearl white to match the car

ive used vht wrinkle red paint in some of the intakes ive had in the past. its my favorite look for intakes :yum:
