Can I paint my K&N Intake Tube?
It used to be shiny chrome now it has faded into a rusty haze. What is (if possible or recommended) the best way to paint over this? What kind of paint and prep should I use?

I would use some sand paper to take away all the rust and to make sure there is a nice clean surface for the paint to stick to. I would then follow up with a good high temp paint and clear coat.

You could do that, but I would use dupicolor brake caliper kit. I know its a bit over kill but you never know what will get on it. And it really is not that expensive, and sure beats having to redo it.

have you used this on your calipers? Does it cure to a shiny finish?
