Should work fine !!!
64409,
You can paint the manifold no problem. You might want to look into getting it powder coated, I had one done for a SB and it held up real well. The biggest problem was finding the powder media to match the Chevy Orange pint I had used.
To remove the shield from the bottom you can use a sharpe chizel to drive them up a little and then pull them out with pliers. Be careful because they are almost impossible to replace. Then just hammer them back in after painting....
