I'd paint the whole thing black, it looks a bit funny with the end caps still shiny IMO.

Yeah, but it currently looks like you have no intercooler core, just the ends

Does your mate not want his Ben plate back? The fella with the Black Civic wasn't it?

IC looks nice, looks like the car has teeth.

I'm no thermodynamics Expert, but i'm pretty sure painting over the metal's going to make the heat dissipation of the intercooler worse than it was originally. Not sure how much, but i'd say it could be quite significant if the coating's quite thick...
