Default Anyone here paint their throttle body black ?

I am thinking of painting my throttle body black. I thought of powdercoat, but am going to opt out of that do to the electronics inside the throttle body since it's motor driven.

Any photos of your painted throttle body would be appreciated.

Thanks ...

My throttle body is black but all that can be seen is the center section where the plug is.

Painted mine with Black brake caliper paint. It turned out perfect, after five years still looks perfect. I did remove the TB from the car and masked off where the rubber air filter connector and mating surfaces attach.
