i got my cobra intake powder coated silver and it looks brand spanking new. the finish is more durable than paint. i did it last year and it cost around $150 depending on the color choice. i used maas brothers powder coating in livermore.

why don't you just polish it? All you need is sand paper, polish and elbow grease. lol
