What paint to use to spray a TMIC.
I have recently fitted an STI8 IC to my 98 wrx and need to repaint it due to scratching the bugger!
Whats the best paint to use, I'm thinking about the heat to be honest. I will only be painting the outer part and not the fins.
Oh, forgot to say, I have the use of a compressor and spray gun.
Cheers,
Wayne.

I have seen the 20g you have. I had my car mapped last week by Andy F and could have done with it mate!
Too many beans for me to be honest.
