Experiences with coatings? and other engine bay stuff
Who around here has had experience with different coatings for your turbo's, mani's exhausts etc? im wondering if you noticed a performance difference, better underhood temps or no change at all?
Could you all help me in the right direction as i wanna have just about everything in the engine bay black with a few grey accents.
Here is what im looking at
Coating to hold heat inside (Exhaust manifold, Exhaust housing on turbo, downpipe, fullcatback and muffler and cat)
Coating to release heat and cool better (compressor housing, intake pipe, charge piping)
Radiator paint (intercooler)
Would there be any negative effects if i painted the block and tranny with regular paint or should i use radiator paint or something else?
Is there anything i can use on the IM to help it shed heat?
Can i paint the SS lines for the oil return and feed lines etc or will the paint just crack?
Does anyone know where to get black braided lines ?
TIA
