[QUOTE="E V O L U T I O N, post: 177360, member: 4302"] i think some ppl has got it it wrong bout black being highest absorber of heat. its actually light energy. if u shine light on black surface, its likely to get hottter and quicker than other colors. however if exposed to heat (not light) wave... it makes no diff which ever colors. for the intercoolers, its not exposed to any heat. the only heat it will be getting is from the atmospheric air, which isnt really hot at all. furthermore exposure its on the inside of the intercooler passage where air passes. additionally on the outside the i/c gets exposure on the fins and will dissipate heat even more quickly if it has a rough surface like a layer of matt paint. so there is no light energy involved. black, silver or any other color on the outside of the intercooler there is no diff. probablly flat balck paint will have n advantge becos the matt finishing is actually tiny uneven surface which acts like a heat sink. 2 stroke bikes exhaust pipes are also flat black. so spraying flat black not only makes the i/c look good but its also better.
