Just trying to imagine if it'd make a difference with an intercooler, but don't forget that changing something's colour can drastically change its heat transfer properties, and a layer of paint is probably enough to reduce airflow and turbulence noticeably, depending on how you painted it.________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Paint's an insulator, more coats you put on the less thermally efficient the IC will be, quick dust with etch primer and a coat of satin black from a rattle can is all you want to be putting on there. I'd be looking to see if it could be anodized black myself. Corrosion resistance and no insulating layer. Win win.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
