painting / powder coating intake

[megaplay]

Ok looking at powder coating the intake at the end of this week. We are going today to buy all the stuff such as paint, gun, and oven for it. For anyone who has either powder coated or painted what prep work would you suggest? Also what parts should I specifically not paint. Looking at taking it completely apart since don't want to bake a lot of the gaskets and such so what can and can't be painted. Any other advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Bake it 1st,you can then easily blow all the gunk out.I had my runners done in a proffesional unit and burned it clean on the inside.Tape off the flat surface for the DIS module.I`m not sure about powdercoating,but the teflon i used to do is nasty stuff,have good ventilation.
