The last two radiators I picked up were painted black. I hope they used the
right stuff. Thanks for the tip!
Radiator Black Paint Aerosol 12 oz
Standard engine paints are too thick for radiator use because they can
interfere with heat transfer and block air flow between the cooling fins. Also,
standard paint tends to flake off radiator tanks. Radiator Black helps solve
this problem. This acrylic enamel factory-finish (85% gloss) withstands 300
degree F., sprays on thick enough to cover completely, yet thin enough to not
interfere with heat transfer. Great for heater cores and air conditioning
condensers, too! Each 12 oz net wt. can covers 6 sq. ft., most radiators
require 2 cans for full coverage. Buy 3 or more and SAVE!
