Curious about your experience with spray painting charge pipes. Thinking about blasting my pipes with some sort of hi temp black tomorrow. Maybe a crinkle finish if I am feeling froggy.

did you use a standard paint--or go with some hi temp stuff?
I'd like to send my pipes out to be powdercoated, but since I'm probably going to re do my intercooler and intake situation soon enough, I'll hold out.
Black pipes, and new couplers, and my engine bay will look bitchin'. Might even go with t-bolt clamps, not because I think I need them, but because they look cool.

I've had really good luck with Dupli-Color engine paint on IC pipes, I usually use satin black and I've done valve covers in red and silver. May not have a million colors but it's super forgiving, goes on nice and stays on. Also, my motorcycle tank is painted with it and it withstands gasoline if you don't let it sit forever, so oil and grease should be no problem. I also like the cast iron (that's what my tank is painted with) and cast aluminum for various other parts. It's good **** and it'll stand up to the heat of IC pipes no problem.
Here's some crap pics.
Motorcycle tank in cast iron.
Silver valve cover, black heat shield (yeah, the engine enamel stayed on the heatshield) and touched up stock IC/MAF pipes all in black.
Red VC, cast aluminum intake manifold, touched up stock IC/MAF pipes.
