I used light 3 light coats of flat black.
Before.

After.

I'm quite happy with the results. Looks stealth.

 

gangsta

 

paint the clamps too

 

Thats next.

 

Hmm.. what paint did you use? If you dont use the right paint you can actually hinder the cooling function of the intercooler. The proper way would be to anodize it black.

 

keep it sleeper



drag IC with radiator paint lightly sprayed

 

I did my research before painting it and allot of people like myself use typical Flat black spray paint which can be found at the local home depot. The are some people putting down some serious hp with painted intercoolers. As long as the paint isn't loaded on the cooling effecientcy should not be affected.

 

i made 311whp on the above drag IC painted black on my sohc in the vegas heat

it may lose alittle effiency, but as long as you arent 'maxing' out the IC your fine

 

pretty cool, im not to interested in the sl33p3r look though.

as if this hasnt been beaten to death already. you paint the front, not the part that does 99% of the cooling.

We have made over 500 awhp on ICs painted with regular black spraypaint.

..and to the OP, that looks really clean

 

I can't tell but was it originally a polished IC? If so, was there any prep you did to it, or just clean it off and spray her down..

 

Yea dude looks excellent! If I still hade my Rex i would have done the same, looking at how stealthy it looks no one would have known it was boosted.

for the sleeper *** car!

edit: paint those clamps

 

a little bit of black electrical tape on the front of those clamps is the way to go

 

looks damn good

very sleeper!

 

One side polished




One side flat black



And i some managed to fit behind stock bumber will minimal cutting, Core is 26x12x4

 

BBQ paint holla!
