Re: Paint on intercooler
I am most likely going to paint mine completely black, I'm not really going to be building a drag car here, it will be a daily driven beater, so I can finally garage my evo and stop putting so many miles on it. I was just curious if people masked those lines to get them straight, and couldn't really think of what I would put on my intercooler anyways. Thanks for all the input guys.
Yeah, Im actually about 15 mins outside Cincy, a little shithole river town called New Roach-mond (richmond)

Painting the intercooler isn't gonna affect it too much.
