Aem Inlet Pipe Question

[brims]

I'm looking to get an AEM Brute Force intake for my 08 Silverado 5.3L, the only thing I don't like about the intake is the inlet pipe, the color/finish to be specific. Anyone have any experience powder coating the pipe (black)? I know you can get it powder coated silver from the factory, but I don't like that. At a minimum I'd like it to not be shiny. If someone has gotten it powder coated, what did it cost? To dull it, I thought about taking it somewhere and having it media blasted, maybe glass beads. Thoughts on either one? Thanks.

Probably be easier/cheaper to just get a intake with a finish that you like.

Haven't found any aluminum intakes that aren't shiny. They are either black plastic or chrome or some polished metal. If I were going for easier/cheaper, I'd close the hood and be done with it.
