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.

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.
