Well i picked up a stock cobra h/e from jimbo and should have it here by next week,i was wonderin would i be able to paint it silver so it looks like c/a's intercooler and is visable?i was plannin to use hi temp radiator paint

 

you can paint it, but the question is will it effect what it is used for? like saying if you cover the h/e will it actually get all that cold air it needs to it or will the paint cause it to suffer a little

 

your fine, many people have repainted them before

 

use a thin coat of paint cause it will defeat the purpose of it

 

so just 1 layer of hi temp radiator paint should be fine and wont affect cooling

 

It should not i noticed that h/e was painted try to get some of it off before you repaint it so it dont get to thick on there

 

stock cobra h/e are factory black,so they werent painted,but ill see what i can come up with..might put SS in red letters up front

 

There you go was not sure if he painted that one or not

 

do what i did...use paint stripper and strip the black off and then repaint it cause your not adding paint over paint and it shouldnt affect anything

 

So you used paint thinner then

 

nope actual paint stripper from walmart... its in a spary can just spray it all over the h/e and let it sit awhile and wipe it off..it will take a few times to get it off..then i took it to the car was and used a high pressure washer and cleaned it off

 

Why not just paint the front? No one is going to see the back/sides..

 

thats what i wanna do,just do the front,i dont really care bout the back,unless its double sided,lol....i think i can do that

also do u have pics of ur h/e so i can see the aftermath

 

paint the brackets too, they look like ass, i just never bothered to makem look nice.

 

i got crap load of paint,stripper,and non rusting paint...im sure i can make it look new,just hope the fins arent bent to much
