Painting My IC Black...
 

I was just using Rust-O-Leum nothing too heavy, but I was curious if it affected the IC's performance any. Does the paint make it work less effectivly? How much if so? Thanks guys!

Black attracts heat. That's the only thing I've ever heard that made any sense.

True, but when driving air is hitting it and its in the bumper like 6 inches from the ground. I don't know yet. I was searching and heard about radiator paint actually helps transfer the heat away. Or black pantyhose. That's a good idea there.

I never heard this before, but it sounds pheasable (sp).

the only way the black paint would harm the efficiency of the intercooler was if you globbed it up in the fins that allow the air to pass through. otherwise it should be fine.
