Message	and logged IATs before and after (both before/after the IC, and before/after painting), and it didn't change temps either way. Granted, it was heat dissipating paint, not a true heat dispersion coating, so I didn't expect much. I used the Eastwood radiator paint in the low-gloss satin. And I'm on the fence about using it on the FRS' FMIC as well, just because I like the stealth look more than a big ole shiny IC.
