Default Painting throttle body?

anyone ever done this? I am continuing my black out theme. Was thinking about painting or powdercoating the throttle body along with the intake.

Rustolem aluminum color paint, makes it look brand spanking new. I also did the alternator and brackets. Makes it look clean and new.

I sprayed mine with high temp ceramic brake caliper paint. Taped it off after porting, media blasted and painted. Looks great over a year now.

Mine is Thermo Coated to reduce heat from entering the TB it was done when I had it PP'd.

It is black in color and I would think painting it black would be fine just like anything else prep work is what will determine the best results!

Thanks,Matt
