Way overkill. The dedicated caliper paint I used on mine was like an enamel finish. I would hate to think the coat it would put on an intercooler.

Negative. Coated my v5 i/c nicely. Couple light coats and it was good to go. Hardly chipped up at all. Was good.

Therell be a pic on here somewhere of it.

What brand? I used VHT it was seriously thick even a light coat thats what I was basing my judgement on. Would hate to use it on something like an intercooler.

Go to a paint shop and buy some black etch primer in a can, slowly paint the if fins from all directions until covered, let it dry between these coats, etch primer is the o my paint that well bond to alloy, all others will fall off over time. If you want to top coat and you have access to a spray gun and compresser than top coat with a 2k black, no clear coat, if the last bit sounds to much then just paint with the etch primer.

I believe you I just wouldnt recommend VHT its what I used on my calipers. Awesome for calipers but is seriously thick.

THIS

anything else will chip over time, etch primer chemically bonds with the alloy so will never come off
