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.
