Anyone ever clear coat an aluminum intake manifold?

We used some "chrome" powder coat that gave the aluminum intake a more polished look..

Definitely a better choice. I am not really a fan of the fake chromes, they do work nicely on bird cages though. We did an awesome blast, clean, treatment and powdercoated a beautifully prepped intake clear, turned it a gray color. Definitely stay away from the clear powders, unless you are using a non bonded chrome powder that needs a clear.
