[QUOTE="5.0Moe, post: 14248431, member: 153905"] I just thought I'd share this with you guys, I found it pretty interesting. [video=youtube;f1QL9veQaNg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1QL9veQaNg[/video] If you don't feel like watching, they basically test a black intercooler vs unpainted and determine which one has cooler temps. Black outperforms by very little while "moving" and almost double while sitting stationary! Long story short, black intercoolers and radiators will cool down much faster compared to unpainted. Now here's the purpose of the thread. I just got my CDC Performance grille from american muscle and the radiator is extremely noticeable since there is no mesh in the grille. Im going to be painting it black, but with what paint? Some say self etching primer, some say radiator paint, others say regular engine paint. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
