Yes. Pick up some radiator paint. It's great. Mine is painted and I get a lot of surprised looks when people challenge me and get blown away.

its a VERY cool sleeper look. if youre ALREADY having charge temperature problems ( too hot of a charge either by too small of an intercooler or an insulation problem with the turbo, or too small of a turbo working too hard) its not a great idea, otherwise its fine
