Bang done. Cost <$10 Done mine bout a year ago no flaking no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(waiting on the stripper to bubble up the paint)..Ill post a how-to later on in the week if it all goes well.To those who have painted their intercoolers.. It looks.. amatuerish... And you can tell its cheap when you get close to it.. From a distance they look good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bain Member 827 Member For: 19y 9m 12d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 06/05/06 07:54 AM Share Posted 06/05/06 07:54 AM (edited) Well semi-finished my IC polishing..Step 1: Remove ICStep 2: Mask up the fins and use Septone Paint Stripper (in a can)Step 3: High pressure hose off the paintStep 4: clean down and begin polishing steps.Step 5: drill packs it in after using the first initial cut back...I have used a clear coat on it for the moment until I buy a new drill.. Once I get the new drill (next month), I will finish the polishing steps.Heres a pic.IMO alot better than fake chrome..
