wewsupra Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Im going to usc sunday day time and today i was going to paint my intercooler front bit black, but i orderd some alloys weeks ago (jade r 19 inch in silver) The wheel company phoned me yesterday saying there in the shop ready to fit ,so i phoned them and said saturday mid day will be fine. will it look odd if i spray intercooler black and the wheels are silver for this car show ? ie should i wait untill i get it all done together. p.s i dont have time to spray alloys in time(black or what ever colour i decide) what you guys think please Edited August 2, 2013 by wewsupra (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Spraying the actual intercooler is not recommended. It will not convect heat as designed...might as well remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Spraying the actual intercooler is not recommended. It will not convect heat as designed...might as well remove it. Agreed tbh. I wouldnt spray an intercooler. Its only going to restrict the air flow through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky-Ricky Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Never seen any difference in efficiency from spayed or non sprayed intercooler, air flow through it both ways is far more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Best thing to spray it with is water, or water/methanol mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 If you do spray it defo go silver! The black will make it look like you have a massive hole with nothing in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Surely black will radiate the heat better? Or is it just a wives tale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
