Is it a parody car show? Because that is the only thing that makes sense. Painting your intercooler will significantly effect overall convection cooling. You saw a ~3*C loss of efficiency with the little breeze they were using. Also if you want a black intercooler pay the bit extra and anodize it. At least that will be better than paint. You will see a 0 IAT benefit from this mod under load.
