Default Painting the plastic inlet manifold

Thinking of painting the plastic inlet manifold silver. Think it will look good compared and breakup the other black plastics. But Not sure if the plastic will accept the paint, engine heat etc.

Anyone got any experience and advise for doing this? Any photos on the result?

VHT makes paint that is compatible with plastic.

DupliColor also makes a good product.

Getting it clean enough to get a good bond is probably the most challenging part of this project.
