do you think it would ruin my ams intercooler if i painted it black?

 

use radiator paint and dont put it on really thick and it will be fine

 

Painting it completely can actually effect the FMIC's ability to cool. I would much rather you anodize it to avoid hurting its performance characteristics.

^Eric, do you guys offer intercoolers w/o the logo?

 

On a related note eric, iv had my AMS FMIC for about 3 years now. The paint used to spell out AMS on the front of it is chipping away and starting to fade. Not a real big deal but its kind of an eye sore. Any advice?

 

sure do


If you like you can bring the core in and we will re-stencil it for no charge. or you can send it in.

looks good...who anodized it for u?

 

What would be the price difference between paint and anodized?

 

you can paint it yourself for cheap...black radiator paint...but it will hold in heat...anodizing is a bit more expensive but disipates heat much much better...

 

yeah the anodizing is actually a method of color changing the actual metal (kind of)
so its not like a huge build up like paint would be and it's just a few bux more than powder coating in my neck of the woods.

 

thanx..im gonna look into anodizing

 

Local shop. $30. Well worth it.

 

WOW $30!!! that's CHEAP! I wish people in this area charged that.
