Intercooler/HE led lighting

My ZZP heat exchanger started leaking so I had to take it off anyway. Decided to paint it black and did the SS logo in fluorescent orange then cleared over all of it. Then did a UV led strip in there to make the orange pop at night. Came out much better than I thought.. And on a side note it had absolutely no effect on my IAT2 temps what so ever. Whatcha think?

What do you guys use to paint and draw letters on the H\E so it doesnt mess with the flow.

I just used a normal krylon paint+primer black. Then the letters in a krylon fluorescent orange then krylon clear :P
No effect on IAT2 like I said.. Still between 10-18 above ambient while cruising

That's sweet. Reminds me I have this blue glow pigment for putting in paint I'm gonna use when I paint my bike. I may tear out my I/c and do something like that when Im painting the bike. Not only would it glow under uh but after it was switched off.

I'll reinstall my side led underglows for this summer...so maybe I'll add something in the front to match. But a matching glowing red intercooler would be cool
