Radiator Paint

[DisneysPatB]

So has anyone painted their shiny new aluminum radiator? How did it turn out? Pictures? What paint?

Painted it flat black. Eastwood makes a special paint to avoid clogging the fins

Yeah, was hoping someone had pictures, to help me decide if I wanted to do it or not.

We apply a couple of light coats of flat black aerosol paint then after the rad is installed we measure the radiator plus about one inch wider and taller than the core and make a black bug screen to further protect the new paint and the core from low flying light highway pebbles. It really works.

Have heard of using a black dye. Anyone have experience doing this or more specific information on the same?

Ive seen one person mention using vinyl dye. VHT black vinyl dye. I have not tried this but will when my new radiator shows up. Hopefully soon.

I used the Eastwood radiator paint. Pictures in gallery. I love the results.

Overheard that paint from a local guy! Must be a good one.
