Do you think that would **** with your intercooler painting it like that? In any case, I think it's actually kinda cool.

I'll have to check that stuff out.

Thanks for the reply. If you want I can upload a pic of some cusco stuff that reflects what it really looks like in person if that would help.

maybe i'll just stick to the housings and sandblast the manifolds.

and i'll stick with the regular brake caliper paint i get from autozone. its extremely thick. i painted the calipers on my 91 and painted the MAZDA emblem on them with white fingernail polish and it made them look like upgraded 'not-stock' calipers.

edit: i just noticed this caliper paint stuff on their site you apply with a BRUSH!? must be quite thick...

No, just cleaned the parts with a steel brush, followed by alcohol, and then the spray.
