Black Paint for Intercooler
I have some spots where the black paint has come off the intercooler... I'm guessing do to rocks or w/e. I'm not trying to paint the whole thing but touch up the areas where the paint has come off.
Can anyone recommend a good paint for this? I take it any quality black radiator paint would do the trick right? |

I was looking into painting a silver intercooler black, and the (intercooler) manufacturer said just use radiator paint, so yes, that is probably the best solution (though I'd use as light a coat as possible - I don't know how insulating that paint can be).

A black sharpie might work. Depending on how big the spot is and all.

Try to spot-fix it whatever you do. Painting the IC reduces it's ability to disperse heat.
