nimsie Member 45 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Gender: Male Posted 14/09/07 02:59 AM Share Posted 14/09/07 02:59 AM I've just booked my ute in for a custom tune. While I was doing that I bought a direct replacement cooler (because I'm like a chick in a shopping centre)I was wanting to know if painting it black will reduce the efficiency of the cooler?Has anyone done this to create the stealth look, and not attract suspicion from the wife?
