The SVT intake is powdercoated black.. not painted..
If the intake is a gray, flat metal color then it is a stock intake of a standard duratec. (would be rough in texture, too..)
There is a chance that it was powdercoated, but the odds that a guy had someone powdercoat it and doesn't know the term, and the odds that it could have been done at NAPA, are NILL, NONE, ZERO, and ZILCH..
