Are there any protective benefits to painting the baffles? Or do most just let their baffles go au naturel?
Paint, clear coat, or primer? What products can take the heat and are safe to use?

Vernon, I had my baffles powder coated. I would do it again no question. They have stayed very nice and are easy to clean.

I left mine as they came from Van's. The rubber seals leave marks on the bare aluminum from vibrations and probably would on painted surfaces too. I clean the bugs off occassionally. Nobody will see in there except you and the bugs. Your red inlet plugs go in after opening the oil door for a short cool down. It is just money, time, weight and of course all yours to do as you wish. It is a great plane either way.
