Hey guys, I was just wandering your opinions on painting a front mount. Does it effect performance at all. IF so, how can I get black paint off of one lol? Im about to get a car that already has one, and it is painted black. Thanks

If it is light coats it should be fine. But if the paint was sprayed on hella thick then it could restrict airflow.

Seeing that black attracts heat, wouldn't painting the intercooler black make the intercooler less effecient in cooling??
