Powder coated pic of my intake + question
Here is a pic of my LE ported powdercoated intake. I sanded the top down some after PC.
I noticed that the gasket surfaces are coated also. (not seen in the pic) Will this pose a problem? I noticed that some of pc made it right inside the mouth of the intake. It has me worried now. I know that normally you can mask off this kind of stuff. It was a favor from my friends father. Other than the gasket area it looks really nice.

I noticed in the past that when removing the throttle body gasket that it was never really stuck to the intake like a traditional exhaust/water pump gasket. I always re-use the throttle body gasket, so wondering how critical this surface is to be metal.
Any issue about overspray being inside the intake itself? Say worst case scenario, a little of the PC comes off later on down the line?.

I am not sure, but I don't think PC on the face of the manifold where the TB seats would be a problem. The PC job looks good from that pic. It is nice to see the color black for a change instead of aged alum or LT4 red.

I would not be worried about powdercoat on the large flat mating surfaces where you use a gasket or sealer, as long as the coating there is smooth.
What is a concern are the injector holes and threaded holes.

I am going to run thread chasers into the threads. For the injector holes me and the guy that powdercoated it talked about it. I believe that if the injectors do not slide in too easy, that I will take a cartridge roll and lightly sand them out from underneath.
