painting intercooler ?
So , i have bought a turbo blanket and when fitting it i will be taking the standard TMIC off.As some off the silver paint is bubbling off the main body i am going to paint it.
-What meathod of prep does it need ,just sand off the old paint and etch prime/and top coat ?
-What paint ? Standard silver car paint/Silver High Temp/a pot of aluminium paint (is it aluminium paint or paint for aluminium)
-anything to use on the bottom to reflect heat thats cheap and easy ? Have some aluminium tape thats used for pipe lagging , would that do anything ?
Thanks in advance

But its painted from new ? Well , theres something on the surface thats bubbling off , i assume its silver paint.
I am just painting the main body , not the fins. Used the "search" on here and it turns into a debate on performance effect. I am just removing whats left of the origional paint and giving it a fresh coat.
So maybe i should just ask how do i paint bare alluminium ?
