i'm thinking about painting my front mount bronze but i want to see how it would look first so can u guys post some pics

 

Do you realize that painting it will reduce its effectiveness? If you want to paint it, get a black paint to maximize heat transfer.

 

You shouldn't paint intercoolers at all.

Intercoolers work by letting the cool air generated when the car is in motion run through the 'fins' of the intercooler to cool the air running through tank to tank. By adding a coating of paint, it blocks direct air to metal contact.

 

I agree . . . Performance wise painting a front mount isnt worth it . . .
