Re: Paint on intercooler
Black attracts light not heat, get your ---- straight. heat is the result of black attracting light, but having a silver intercooler or a black intercooler makes no significant difference when air is passing between the fins at 60mph

I'm flat blacking my ---- because I'd like to keep my car from being stolen, thanks. Stealth vs hp per psi volumetric efficiency LIES - there can be only one.

dark colors don't shed heat as well either, same thing with a black car in the sun.

Re: Paint on intercooler
Flat black will radiate heat better than a shiny colour will. It will also take up more radiated heat from other radiating sources. A black car will heat up faster in the sun but it will also cool down faster once in the shade.
Most heat sinks for passive cooling are aluminized flat black for that reason. It doesn't matter as much if you have airflow though.
