Planning to go turbo and thinking about red or black coating for the piping. So should i powdercoat it red or black?

i can spray it myself for 95% cheaper. flat black or flat red or glossy?

The intercooler will be sprayed flat black, not red.....

but my entre engine bay has a lot of red in it. red engine bay, is rice... so what..
so far:
red valvecover
red silicone wires everywhere
red bumper stiffener



I know, sucky *** pic.....

If the red spray paint will match the red on the car then I guess it wouldn't look too bad

I would personally just go with flat black

 

Neither. Your going to ruin heat transfer on the IC. Getting it anodized is the right way.

 

Ignore my post I didnt read it right. HAHAHA Honda valve cover red would look sick. Flat black also looks CLEAN.

Listen to this guy, he's right. Anodizing is expensive, but it makes the IC more efficient, and it won't attract attention (******* thieves!) like a standard front mount, and people won't know you are turbo, until they try to race you, and you blow off on there ***!! It's fun to see the scared look on most Mustang driver's faces. LOL

 

I would go with the sleeper look. Now you have to go and figure out what the sleeper look for your car would look like then go from there. After that post pics here on HT

 

well the intercooler will be black and the piping will be glossy black. i think that should work.

i'll post some pics when its done.

 

This is my old hatch. FLAT BLACK looks CLEAN!
