With my set-up, dual-pass, Option B and Cobra HE, I noticed no real change in my IAT2s after doing this.

There's a huge difference in lightly painting a logo and spray bombing the whole IC or HE

As long as you dont go crazy and spray too many coats this is not a big deal. If it was you wouldn't see big name manufacturers such as ARC, Greddy, etc etc placing their logo on IC's. There also different types of paints available that will have differing impacts in this regard.

if you get 7 chars. you could make it 1PT7BAR

if you don't get it, 1 BAR = 14.5psi

1.7 BAR = ~ 24.6psi
