Can you spray an intercooler ?

[r8byb]

Want spray my intercooler, can you spray it just using normal spray paint ?

And will it affect the performance at all ?

Thanks

Rob.

It is possible yes. But be very careful not to put too much paint on otherwise you will clog the fins. Normal spray paint "should" be ok but something designed for higher heats would be a better option i think.

litrally, gloss paint from halfords will be fine then ? need to primer etc ?
