Extreme heat paint?
I would like to paint my intercooler pipes the same color as my truck. It old man beige and tan however its still a beast on the road being an excursion. What is a good brand name paint that would coapply well to the pipes and actually with stand the heat from the engine.

I don't know the exact temperature that you can expect on Intercooler components, but I expect it to be much lower than exhaust parts. Exhaust parts would be hopeless to paint with color, but the Intercooler may very well take lacquer with good results.
Good luck,

I used 500* paint on some exhaust manifolds once and it all burnt off while breaking in the cam. My brother used 1500* paint on his manifolds but we wont be running that motor for a few more weeks. I did use 1200* paint on some headers once, it head up real well except for the fact I didn't clean them as well as I should have and the rust is causing the paint to flake off. I'm not sure what temp your intercooler pipes will reach, but I thought I could give you some baselines regarding temp. The 2 paints I used were the duplicolor with ceramic. I believe my brother used VHT.
