Spraying an intercooler

[Icywalts]

What sort of paint would u need to spray an intercooler? Considering its metal and has a very shiney surface?

i gave mine quick rub down with a scotch pad, then primer then paint, seems to have held pretty well, but ive not fitted it to the car yet so i cant comment on how its held up to road shit

Would hammerite be the best bet?

Montana Gold acrylic spray paint. Because when it inevitably chips you can batter more paint on top. No primer, no fuss

Its been suggested to me that u can use acrylic engine thermo paint? What sort of prep before using acrylic paint? The scouring pad first sounds quite a good plan.

I used spray red oxide primer as I had loads left the a can of Matt black spray over the top
