What kind of Paint?
I want to stencil my intercooler, what kind of paint would you guys recommend?

Ive chosen High Heat engine paint "Duplicolor" then use clearcoat after all said and done.

Any recommendations?

tips?


thanks!!!

I wouldn't use the clear coat though. The clear in spray paint isn't really that great. I didn't like it.

you agree on the color that I chose? Duplicolor high heat paint?

I got a glossy black, is that ok or has to be flat black?

Its all gonna look the same on a intercooler. Since youre just dusting it on the little vents. If it was a bigger surface panel it'd be different. Thats why there is no reason to clear it also, added that its pointless really. What are you going to stencil on it? I was going to stencil mine soon too.
