FYI if you have the bumper off or you dont have the front grill, it takes you literally 5 minutes to wipe it off with acetone! dont bother with aircraft paint stripper and all that mess.... jesus its not that hard!

just take acetone or aka nail polish remover + napkins. wipes right off!!!! if you want get a q-tip and get any paint on hard to reach parts like fins etc

 

Did my intercooler lastweek. Man she looks clean

 

aircraft stripper is very harsh I used to use it at a body shop I worked for its gets very messy I wouldnt suggest it for an intercooler just take your time with the acetone

 

Aircraft paint stripper is trash. Yea it works but it leaves a huge mess after. Either use acetone or self etching primer and repaint your logo.

 

I wont use aircraft Paint Stripper. it will probably discolor your intercooler.
Good luck...

 

Could air craft remover, then polish the bar with scotch brite pads. Just stay focused on the fins

 

i like to see customer service like this.....might pic up an ETS intercooler

 

pics?

 

1) Go over it with a Perm Marker (works real well)
2) Get some 400-600 grit sand paper and sand it off. you will NOT do any damage to the cooler.

and you can easily make it shine. just get some polish from a local store. "Mothers" polish is pretty good.

and bent fins can always be fixed with a simple pick.. fix coolers up at work all the time.

 

i have an ets stencil.. but im located in ny

 

anybody with stencils for HKS?

 

So did anybody decide which is better? Acetone of Aircraft Remover?!

 

Just flip the intercooler around so the logo is facing the radiator

 

Props to ETS for a: paying attention to the thread, and b: having the business sense to just offer a stencil for repaint. ^5

 

I called Perrin Performance today and they sent me a Stencil in the mail for my FMIC for Free.

Btw, i have the Stealth Black FMIC on my VIII...

I'll Post Before and After Pictures when i get it done...
