Gary;
This MAY (or not) have been a bad idea. I know of at least one air cooled
VW engine that suffered from overheating which also had it's block
painted. We theorized the paint acts as a heat barrier preventing the oil
from cooling properly. Ask around, you might be OK since your oil has an
intercooler. I figure better safe than sorry.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
