Default What can I wrap my IC piping in for insulation? Some kind of tape?

I'm hoping there is something I can wrap my piping in. My friend has a gun where you point the laser at something and it says how hot it is. It made me want to insulate my piping while looking nice too. Let me know. Thank

I was actually just thinking of this....I was thinking of some type of insulating paint...I know they make it. Should be easier to apply, look better and be cheaper than a wrap.

wrapping the pipe really wont help because the air does not stay inside the piping long enough to heat the air. It also has no meadia like a intercooler has fins to radiate heat or slow the charge down. I wouldt worry about what the surface temp is.
