Well I don't think there's much more for anyone to add about stripping or painting an intercooler...So go do something interesting... like take your old man's XR for a spin. :banghead:Not bored Vespa , just chatting in msn and have a lot of windows up. Havent refreshed in a bit.I started the thread to see if anyone had had probs and whether or not they had it fixed. It'll get done black again, just gotta see what they say next service I guess.

I just accepted it as a heat related thing. Maybe I should bithc up about it to the dealer?

Guest Guests Posted 06/05/04 10:50 PM Share Posted 06/05/04 10:50 PM You mobb of bloody poofs,do what I did and just spray the bloody thing with black paint,I sprayed mine 12 months ago with normal flat black and no probs.Do you want the dealer to wipe your arses after youve had a bog????No black paint on it is "RICE",if you can live with that well so be it,but if I see one coming down the road,Ill point my finger and say eeeewwwwweee ricervik Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10571-intercooler-paint/page/2/#findComment-119276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 07/05/04 08:36 AM Share Posted 07/05/04 08:36 AM Yeah I guess I'll have to paint mine now... so as not to offend Vik. Having bare metal showing through on the intercooler probably looks a bit silly when I've got the purple neons in the front end turned on....
