It looks so crappy. If they wont do it I might have a go at getting the paint off it..... Thanks,Glenn Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10571-intercooler-paint/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 06/05/04 10:46 AM Share Posted 06/05/04 10:46 AM I remember seeing very similar pics posted by others here. I remember at least one or two of the guys here mentioned they got new paint under warranty.It's heat related yours or stone chipped? I doubt the latter would be covered under warranty.

I doubt the latter would be covered under warranty.its a shocker eh, Well I doubt its stone chipped as that photo was taken when the car was only about 6 weeks old. Also there are no stone chips on the bumpers and the car is driven mainly in the city.It might be a bit dark but I'll see if I can grab another shot... :banghead:pisses me off lookin at it. especially when you washed the car and it stands out so much Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10571-intercooler-paint/#findComment-119117 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scootre Guests Posted 06/05/04 10:57 AM Share Posted 06/05/04 10:57 AM For the amount of aggro, it might be simpler for you to brush paint on some heat proof flat black. Hmmm... any recommendations of paint types from the experts? It'd be something I'll do when the time comes.

Getting it all back together is the hard part, especially with all those left over pieces :banghead: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10571-intercooler-paint/#findComment-119137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scootre Guests Posted 06/05/04 11:46 AM Share Posted 06/05/04 11:46 AM Bored tonight, Glenn?Every time I've popped into this thread over the past few hours, I see you've been here... waiting for anyone to reply. Well I don't think there's much more for anyone to add about stripping or painting an intercooler...So go do something interesting... like take your old man's XR for a spin. :banghead: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10571-intercooler-paint/#findComment-119139 Share on other sites More sharing options...
