Took about 30 minutes to prepare, and 15 minutes between each coat. We did three coats.The paint does float around a lot but the good thing is it dries in the air so it just wipes off with a dry cloth. I got a bit of paint on my front bar and I removed it straight away with a bit of bug and tar remover.Here is a pic of the preparation...And here is one of chris holding a sheet to stop the paint floating onto his car...

Adam Here since the start... Legacy Donating Member 10,282 Member For: 23y 5m 11d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 02/05/05 10:32 AM Posted 02/05/05 10:32 AM So you're not painting the whole intercooler, just the bit you can see easily. I thought of removing mine and getting it acid dipped to clean all the paint and crap off and then hitting it with a bit of alloy polish.
