RE: paint intercooler

Black spray paint.
Shake well
Push Nozzle down
Move from side to side until intercooler is fully covered in wet black paint
Let dry
Install

Next time I will be charging for my best secrets.[8D]

RE: paint intercooler

^ lol jackass.......to add to that maybe clear coat is so the paint doesnt get cancer.

Just out of curiosity would that hurt the intercoolers performance at all?

RE: paint intercooler

Just don't lay it on really thick, it only hurts the performance slightly but it's not that big of a deal.

RE: paint intercooler

if it chips off, then add more layers

use the high temp paint for headers or for grills

Exactly. One layer seems to be enough anyway.

RE: paint intercooler

its gonna get chipped no matter what, its in the front of your car. a nice coat of flat black would do the trick and it shouldnt rust because almost all intercoolers are aluminum
