Might have to blast it to get it back, or paint it.

I was planning on powdercoating it anyways when ever I go in to replace the fuel injector wires on cylinder 3

Unless you're powdercoating it yourself, it's not a two hour job, and pending on how busy the shop is, it could take a few weeks.

I do think powdercoat is far better than paint. I suggest buying another at a junkyard and either getting that powdercoated, or putting it on the car and send the one you have out, otherwise, your car is down for a while :awesome:

The manifold should be blasted and baked before powdercoating. We do PC work here, and if there is oil in the pores of the manifold, it can destroy your finished product.
