paint stripper and lower intake

[The Devils Own Chariot]

Will paint stripper remove the paint from the lower intake manifold? Or is that powdercoated?

not factory powdercoated and for that matter, not much factory paint either.

Factory lower intakes were not black?

Just blast it with glass bead. Then powdercoat after or you'll face paint coming off.

Syclones have painted lower intakes (black) and they have a strip at the very top that is not painted. Upper intakes are identical on Syclone and Typhoon other than some casting differences. Specifically a depth difference in the "Syclone" scripting on the upper intake. Seems that early Syclones have a shallow casting in the script. I confirmed the two castings of the upper intake when I questioned one of the PAS dudes at Homecoming.

Typhoons are plain metal no paint on the lower intake.

To answer your question...I used paint stripper and then glass beaded mine to restore it. Make sure to get all the paint stripper off of the intake or the new paint won't stick in places.

Thanks guys. Paint stripper worked on some of it but in the deep valleys it does not want to come out. Bead blast I must.
