Mr. Oizo Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 It shouldn't affect it either way Some people will say the paint will decrease the cooling effectivity of the fins Some people will say the Matte black absorbs heat It's just a personal preference really Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/136994-intercooler-aspect/#findComment-2545874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 if you spray it lightly, the paint wont restrict the flow. dont go caking it on, and it'll be fine Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/136994-intercooler-aspect/#findComment-2545932 Share on other sites More sharing options...
