Can you paint an intercooler without affecting the functionality of it?

I like understated as opposed to flashy. Chrome intercoolers look great but a little too much "bling" for my taste.

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
