Brand New Eddy RPM performer intake:How to protect it?

Brand New Eddy RPM performer intake. How to protect it? I am wondering what are some of the best options as far as high temp painting vs. high temp powdercoating. What have you guys used in the past to keep your intake manifolds looking good? The new intake I have has no finish on it, so basically fresh bare aluminum. I'd like to keep the aluminum color. Thanks.
