is there a certain kind of paint that can be used on intercoolers to paint them black without hindering the performance to much.

 

Get it anodized or paint it with radiator paint.

 

the best way to do it is to anodize it,
i was too poor and couldnt get it done due to the downtime, so i just put a few light coats of radiator paint!

 

Krylon, I put like 3 coats on mine...flat black stealthy...

 

i told you to get it anodized.

mike, whats up bitch? i was about to post the same question. or just leave my Johnny Race Car shinney and sexy?

 

how much does it usually cost to get an intercooler anodized?

 

whats the point of painting the intercooler?its not like they are not gonna hear the bov

 

for me its a low key kinda thing. also, draws less attention when parked(thiefs)

deifnetely isnt 50 dollars

If theft is big in your area then go for it, I think the intercooler is what makes people flip u-turns and try and race me

very nice. looks stealth. and good point about the theif part. people always wanna jack what isnt there's and cant afford, little bastards!

 

I just used a generic brand flat black, but I only fogged my endtanks so the light didn't shine off them (drag intercooler). My intercooler is mounted about an inch forward of the core support in a civic, so painting the fins wasnt really that BIG of an issue.

 

black radiator paint

 

Where can you get black radiator paint? I can't seem to find them. Links?

 

I bought mine at autozone, was 11 bucks though

krylon here too. except i was scared so i ended up putting about 10 very very thin layers on mine

 

i like the stealth mode better. More of a surprise to the other person. But i used 4 coats on mine.

 

ahhh haaa now when i see ur car kook911 i'll know its a turbo'd lude. you just gave away your element of suprise now !! fyi i've seen ur car around arlington its dope i like the front lip
