Painting intercooler
is there a certain kind of paint that can be used on intercoolers to paint them black without hindering the performance to much.

Re: Painting intercooler (turboEGsedan)
the best way to do it is to anodize it,
i was too poor and couldnt get it done due to the downtime, so i just put a few light coats of radiator paint!

If theft is big in your area then go for it, I think the intercooler is what makes people flip u-turns and try and race me</TD></TR></TABLE>

Re: Painting intercooler (fullthrottle35)
I just used a generic brand flat black, but I only fogged my endtanks so the light didn't shine off them (drag intercooler). My intercooler is mounted about an inch forward of the core support in a civic, so painting the fins wasnt really that BIG of an issue.
