I got my innercooled in my WE4 powder coated gloss black looks really nice. For my front mount I had the unit blasted at my coaters and painted it with extreme chassis black from Eastwood.

Painting or coating coolers of any kind inhibit them from dissipating heat.

If your painting a stock innercooler who cares about heat dissipation. If your using one your probably not racing or blowing the pants off of anybody in the first place.

They actually make a thermal dispersing coating. That promotes heat transfer.

Yes! If your going to paint it use the correct materials. If your not worried about dissipating heat take the IC off and save some weight!!
