I realise that this will cause some adverse effects, but I would like to know how much? What percentage of the intercooler could I theoretically paint before it becomes a serious issue. I just want some grey shark teeth in the grill. (high temp engine paint, or perhaps grill paint?)

Thanks

also, any idea if I should avoid heat absorbing colors and so on??

 

Im begging you, please

 

i doubt that would have too much of an effect

 

shark teeth?thats new.
paint eye lids on top of headlight too =D
I noticed intercooler is not that hot after driving around(normal little boost)
but to make sure use high temp paint. I still have paint on my manifold heatshield.
used some high temp paint from advanced auto

 

shark teeth??? dude are you driving a peterbuilt big rig???

wow this guy wants shark teeth on his fmic

another guy just put 20s on his evo.

WTF IS GOING ON HERE PEOPLE.

 

Evodan makes me laugh.........

I think th AC cobras had shark teeth on the radiator.?.?.?.

 

I've always wondered if you could get the I/C thermal-coated to actually increase it's effectiveness. I'm pretty sure that's about the color of a shark. (I always thought shark teeth were white)

 

not if they dont floss and brush twice a day! haha


But do it! then post pics! Cuz I wanna laugh!!!

 

You want to get the paint that dissapates heat, not the ones that help keep it in. It is some kind of radiator paint. Works well, but you have to touch it up.

 

The aluminum actually is a very eficient thermal conductor.

I think they actually dip radiators in some kind of asphault.<------- I think

Not the same as hot mix..............

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH To each there own I guess bro...

 

i just seen a miata that had shark teeth painted onto the lower grill.....
i guess everyone has their own tastes
