I dunno... I painted my stock cooler chrome and I was pretty embarrassed to show off my small I/C ... So I got a black Nizpro one Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54218-intercooler-remove-and-spray/page/3/#findComment-977333 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(this is why most radiators are painted black!!) but painting the intercooler is for looks (wank) so it is up to the individual and what look you are going for...

Took like 10 sec to do, but with about 20min of masking up, anyway much easier to do and unless you wanna spray the parts you can see..

Rudiger All round good guy! Lifetime Members 1,122 Member For: 17y 2d Gender: Male Location: Greenvale, Victoria Posted 15/01/11 02:11 AM Share Posted 15/01/11 02:11 AM Hey guys, those who have removed the bumper, I have heard that the hardest part is the clips on the side. I am told you pull out and down until you feel a "POP" and you away. I guess its one of those things that you will know how to once you do it. But anyone had great problems with that bit??Bl;ack does dissipate heat quicker. Like red cars go faster. But I don't know how doppler shift can relate to thermodynamics and loss of energy through colour absorbsion. But then, I havent a clue how to use the Foxtel remote.

blokeman Member 4 Member For: 14y 3m 25d Posted 01/02/11 10:47 AM Share Posted 01/02/11 10:47 AM just a quick question, spraying the factory I/C is the quickest and easiest way for looks but what about power coating it a sliver or chrome?I can get it done for next to nothing, but would it really be worth it?
