paint is only as thin as you apply it. dust the intercooler lightly with some tremclad spray paint and make sure you cover all angles so that you can't see fins from certain angles.

but applying the paint thick enough will prevent the air flowing through the fins.

you would have to paint it with household paint and a roller to block from going thru those fins haha. theres more space than a rad on an intercooler but iknow what he's sayin just fukn around LOl.
