It will not effect performance in anyway. I have a painted intercooler and would not have it anyother way. Its bad enough owning a Honda attracting trolls (once broken into before turbo/intercooler install). I don't need shiny objects leuring them closer. IMO Painted intercoolers are the way to go

you can hardly tell i have one..... good idea i think, unless you feel like showing your stuff off.

it's simple, just make sure you mask off the fins...
depending on the paint you use, you might have to re-spray every now and then.
