Painting intercooler
Ok my friend and I are debating this, will painting your intercooler hurt the airflow?
are there any special procedures to painting it?
Thanks

Re: Painting intercooler (supergreenSol)
If you apply a thin coat then you can paint the whole thing. I work at a company that makes rads & other heat exchangers and for the most part we just use black paint

Re: Painting intercooler (supergreenSol)
where can i get it anodized?
i would prefer not to because im trying to keep this cheap.
i may just paint it lightly with a laquer.

You could always get it coated by Swain Tech's Heat Exchange black coat...
It will actually make the intercooler MORE effective then what it was.
The black coating will actually release the heat faster to the outside air then just the plain aluminum. It's pretty much simple physics....black radiates heat faster.

oh gimme a break dude
its IMPOSSIBLE to watch your car 24/7
alot less people will realize its turbo if i blow off while im driving rather than seeing this giant chrome intercooler.
im just saying, its for added security for when your not around.
