Painting plastic inlet manifold

With the 4th gens having a black plastic inlet manifold, mostly hidden by the engine cover, has anyone bothered painting it?

Since I broke my engine and now have it rebuilt with an STi8 short engine I quite fancy doing mine to have it showing through a hint of STi style wrinkle red through the gaps and louvres...

Anyone done it? I know it's a lot of work to get a small bit of detail but I think it would set off the engine bay really nicely.

Any hints, tips or possible pitfalls etc?

Cheers guys :mrgreen:
