better keep a close eye on your temp gauge... You more likely clogged up your intercooler fins with that type of paint.

Radiator spray paint works as that it doesn't block the heat exchange that a intercooler is suppose to do...

only thing I will say, and it's evident in the last photo, is that it flakes a bit if i hit it too hard with the hose cleaning it off...
