Default Painting STI topmount

Silly question, I am thinking of painting my top mount pink, STI pink. Would this affect the cooling capacity of my top mount and is it a bad idea.

*Puts flame suit on*


Cheers

yeah it will reduce the capacity.
but mostly you will need to paint between the fins which is generally done by using alot of spray paint which makes a thick coat on those tubes resulting in an insulating effect.

Maybe just paint "STI" on it.

Just but a STI stencil and some HOT PINK paint and spray the LOGO on there.

Or unbolt the intercooler and spray the think Black or whatever colour you like.

I was always a fan of the 'Magic Happens' stickers, or better yet - Those Jesus ones, some fish looking thing.

Well for one it is my car, if I want to paint the whole thing pink and put 10 inch dildos all over it I will. What you think is crap I may like.

I dont like done up excels but the person who did it might. I dont like some of the cars on here but the owners think they are hot. I think fat girls are hot but some guys dont, each to there own heheheh...


My 2 cents anyway.
