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.

Bwhahaha

 

LOL. What?

No it's my Dad's reasoning against cops pulling me over.

What about BIG ladies Black Pantyhose? I might try that.

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.

 

who cares just paint it black and keep urself from a few trouble.

 

Painted today. I'll post pics tomarrow. Looks really good. 100x better I think. I'm actually happy I did it. Dad was like "Paint dem couplers too. There blue! They'll dem things!". Buddy said no. I didn't care. I didn't paint them. I'll post pics tomarrow. Thanks for all the input guys!
