I know that powdercoating actually helps with temp-reflectin, etc.. Wouldn't paint seem to theorhetically do the oppostite, creating a heat-soaked element?

Please... Jim, man, people paint engine blocks and heads.. Painting an intake manifold is a nice 20$ afternoon job...

Plus you get to clean your LIM and change plugs while waiting for the paint to dry.
