Intercooler paint

[codydell01]

So I have a 03 Dodge Cummins and this weekend me and my buddies was wanting to paint my intercooler. I was wondering if I could do this with the intercooler in the truck and how hard would it be? And does anyone have pictures of this done?

Was always told this is a bad idea, affects the heat transfer. They use a special paint on radiators. If you were going black, that paint is available from the parts stores I believe. I would like to have mine a different color if someone has any other input?

I wasn't very clear, my apologies. I was talking about the sides of it, not the actual fins. Woild that cause a problem?

If you have paint the fins and tubes, keep it thin. Too much paint reduces the efficiency

I used Dupli -color high heat Engine paint. It needs touched up now but that was done around 4 years ago.

How hard was it to do, did you take it out or leave it in the truck

It took me a few hours I didn't get in a hurry. I did it on the truck I used news paper and painters tape.
