Hello,
The heat exchangers on my 2.0/4 are original and seem to be solid. Engine is out of the car and I'm finding all kind of projects as a result. I was thinking of removing the exchangers, having them gently media blasted and then paint with some kind of heat resistant paint. Anyone done this? What paint did you use and what is the correct color?
Thanks in advance,
Jack

Hi Jack, I did exactly that.

Check out month 2 of my build off challenge thread for details.

The hardest bit is getting the blast media out from inside the exchangers. Took me hours shaking and gently tapping it with a hammer to get it all out prior to painting.
