I was wondering what type of paint is used to paint the intercooler. I was planning to paint "greddy" on the front of the intercooler with the stensil.
Thanks =)

Hmmm... I thought that I had already answered this question today. I too will be painting my intercooler. I will be using a high temp engine enamal such as:
VHT http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=3896&prmenbr=361
or
Duplicolor http://www.duplicolor.com/products/engine.html

I have used both of these products over the years and both work great.

Any old flat black paint will do, really. It's not like the FMIC is going to get very warm. However, I STRONGLY suggest that you forego stenciling something on your intercooler. It will just give cops a better excuse to pull you over and point out aftermarket modifications.

Ure going to paint "greddy"? Hmmm, make sure you get the signature font from Greddy then it'll look aight.
Yeah Wavmixer, paint that IC. It really does stand out alot since your car is black.
