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

I had a cast iron intake powder coated aluminum color! It looked like crap after 3 months,from heat and gasoline from tuning on the carb and changing it out 3 times! I even had the intake redone! Yellowed and discolored just from heat! Unless they have some type of hytemp powder coating now I would stay away from that on hot surfaces! Just my experience and opinion! I like the POR 15 engine color kit! I done my complete engine and it has held up now for 4 years now and still looks great! I am getting ready to build 2 engines and they will get POR 15 hemi orange color kits!
