the performance difference is negligible. It might decrease the effeciency in theory but in actuality, you'll only be running around .5 degrees more. My brother's teg was turbo'd with a flat black intercooler earlier in the summer in arizona and it worked just fine. Just hit it with a few light coats and don't clog the fins because that's what's doing to cooling, not the face of the intercooler.

i belive there is a company that can do this though.

It would probably be a coating with a rough finish, to increase surface area, too.</TD></TR></TABLE>

Swain Tech has a heat radiating coating, http://www.swaintech.com/price.html. Its called BBE.

 

make sure you use a good metal paint or it could come off to easy. like in the rain on the high way or something like that. it will just wear off. good paint.

 

I might be painting mine while its down for engine work. There's a company online that sells a black radiator paint which should work perfect for anyone that wants to do this. http://www.eastwoodco.com/
