Painting Intercooler Q's?
I just moved to some new appartments. Problem is, I can't get a garage for another 5 months due to lack of garages. Anyway, i'm paranoid as hell, and I don't want to attract attention to my car with a blingin intercooler. Planning on painting it black, but what can i use that won't ---- up the efficiency? powdercoat? light coat of spray?
Cliff notes: wanna paint my IC black. WTF do i use? |
Re:Painting Intercooler Q's?
Just grab some flat black primer or some black spray paint and shoot a coat on. It won't effect the efficiency at all IMO.

Paint it with one or two coats of rustoleum spray paint and call it a day. Do this to make sure you keep it at max efficiency

good ol tyrus FMIC with some painters tape. I had a 1/4" so i had to trim it down after applying it. basically made a lil snip and ran my finger nail down and it kept the cut going. I would suggest if you dont have any in the house just measure the distance and go to homedepot and buy that exact width give or take.
You really dont want any paint in the core so painting like shown above is the only right way to do it |
Re:Painting Intercooler Q's?
OMG I never thought of that. You're a damn genius. I was always worried about losing efficiency by painting it, but that clearly won't affect it.

Re:Painting Intercooler Q's?
Won't the paint act an insolator? Maybe if you want you could put this diamond Grill Mesh in front IDK if that would work for you, and he might end up looking even ricier that way. From your experiances how fast do cars under tarps get raped? I am guessing pretty quick. Do u have an alarm on ur car?
