Default Spray painting intercooler

Hey guys, I've just made a stencil of the sti logo up at work, and I wanted to spray it, in silver, onto my standard black tmic.



I dunno if this is a daft question or not, but am I gonna affect the performance of it at all if I spray that onto it? I'm guessing not but just wanted to double check like. Also, do I need to use any special kinda paint? Or will any old silver spray paint do?

Cheers

as long as you don't empty the whole can on it, a little spray paint has no effect at all....

Silver hammerite should do the trick. Used the black 'smooth'
stuff on the calipers, would think they run at a little
higher temperature than whatever the i/c is exposed to.
