Mount Intercooler
January 24th, 2008
Can you paint with a front mount intercooler?
In the darkness my sti and I have a front mount intercooler, it would still still correct, if I painted black? Thanks.
There is some disagreement in this area. A lot of people will say that there is a case in the heat and does not go so well. I know there are some companies that there FMIC's, the anodisation do has zero negative impact on the aluminum. I can see where the argument the syringes, a charge air cooler with color, the cooling capacity, it hurts because you are adding a layer outside of it. Even where it is not black as good as that of pure aluminum. I know this is not conclusive, but to me, I think the effect would be pretty much negligible, so my opinion probably the Guys in the forums will not say it, never. For a foolproof way to send it away to get it anodized black, not as expensive as you think either.
