May 24, 2012 at 14:22 comment added Daniel Lichtblau @J. M. Thanks for the updates. I seem to be getting an awful lot of upvotes for code that was never of my own devising, and not notably better (that I can tell) than that in the other response. Embarrassed am I.
May 24, 2012 at 5:49 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation I'll just note that if you take a look at the InputForm[] of the output of Daniel's version, the Polygon[] objects representing the isosurfaces are still there, just transparent. One could of course do something like ContourPlot3D[{(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 8)^2 - 36 (x^2 + y^2), y^2 + (z - 2)^2 - 4}, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, {z, -2, 2}, BoundaryStyle -> {1 -> None, 2 -> None, {1, 2} -> {}}, ContourStyle -> None, Mesh -> None] (as Vitaliy comments) if one just wants the curves themselves. So many unused points, though...
May 24, 2012 at 3:01 comment added rcollyer Nice! I find it interesting, though, that the docs do not say that the Filling format specification can be applied to BoundaryStyle. Very useful.

May 23, 2012 at 22:28 comment added Vitaliy Kaurov +1 Magical ;-) {1,2}->Green means intersection (boundary) between surface 1 and 2 will be green. Here is a minimal set of options to make it work: ContourPlot3D[{(x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + 8)^2 - 36 (x^2 + y^2), y^2 + (z - 2)^2 - 4}, {x, -4, 4}, {y, -4, 4}, {z, -2, 2}, ContourStyle -> None, Mesh -> None, BoundaryStyle -> {1 -> None, 2 -> None, {1, 2} -> Green}]
