I actually like the way merc racing did the block and heads in black and the covers and intakes in blue. at least thats how the 525SC's I had were. I think the 500 EFI was that way to. Hate to say it but I would leave the heads ano black, re shoot the block in black and do the intakes blue

Is this an aluminum intake manifold? I powder coated a few pieces on a Donzi and later had to redo all of it with Jet Hot Ceramic, cooler and it lined the water tract through the manifold. With this I had no corrosion issues, powdercoating can hide corrosion.

I had my intakes powder coated metallic silver. I also did all the pulleys silver and then kept the blocks and heads black.
I think the silver would look good with the merc blue!

I do this candy blue over a mirror base and it is a near perfect match to Merc Racing blue
