Painting the compressor. Bad idea?
Is it a bad idea to use VHK Wrinkle Paint on the compressor housing of my turbo? I can't really see any reason it would be bad, but I also can't recall hearing of many people painting their compressors.

I painted the inlet flange on my compressor housing with 1200deg high temp paint and its held up fine, except where the rubber on the filter touches. For awhile it would heat up and smoke. Seems ok now though.

I'm headed to Utah for a week, so I won't be making any progress for a while, but once I get the oil pan back from the welder I'll be able to put the engine back together I think.

Paint it this color, Hustler. It will match your manly attitude. The pepsi zero is important too to maintain your girlish figure (and keep track weight down).
