Default Painting Intercooler

Is there any way to paint or powdercoat an intercooler and not drastically kill the airflow???

Are there any companies out there that will do it?

Anodizing is the best option.

I used 1,200 degree ceramic flat black on my IC and piping... thin enough to cover and it works good. IC is still efficent.
