Finishing an inlet manifold.

My injection inlet for the Jaguar is ready for final finishing, but I wondering what's the most durable:

Bead blast - etch prime - engine enamel

Powder coating

I'm a bit worried about powder coating and the gasket faces, I would have 'open' edges which could peel..

I'm interested to hear people's experience.

Cheers.

Pete.

I had one blasted and powder coated. As long as its blasted to give a good key it shouldn't peel.

More hassle checking there was no blast media left behind.

Crackle paint. Black looks smart.
