that's mine with the gold FMIC, thanks for the compliment, understand not everyones cup of tea.
Black on black will look cool, very stealthy. Make sure you powder coat it mate, not spray it. Spray paint will last a few months only before chipping off.
I've seen a few on here and all look stunning

You can't see the black intercooler, but I just happen to like the picture!

How does painting it affect the thermal properties of an intercooler?
Anyone painted and then noticed a difference in intake temps?

Painting is fine so long as you do not layer up the paint on the cooling fins. My fin area has been literally dusted and thats it. Painting the fins too much will insulate them and the cooler would be les efficient.

Well, black body radiation.... black is a better colour for absorbing heat, but it's so thin a layer of paint that the net effect is negligible.
No ! It'll be fine, honest !
Trust me I'm an Engineer.... LoL
