I don't have time to do a search but yes, people have done it and appear to by satisfied.

powdercoating is pretty tough. it needs to be baked on at 400-450*F so it would be fine under the hood. it looks great and is easier than raw aluminum to keep clean.
for insulating properties some have ceramic coated their manifolds.

i had the valve cover and intake manifold powdercoated on my wife's pt and it came out nice, much easier to keep clean and no problems since it was done a year ago. Just have to think about which colors to use, some come out better than others. see here:

Sorry about the pic. Had a better one but can't find it. This is a GT from one of the guys at my Tampa Bay PT Cruiser Club. He powdercoated the manifold and it really looks good.

I did mine in florecent? yellow. I hook a black light up to the hood at shows. Goes pretty good with the florecent? yellow hoses too [|)]
