Painting a rad

Post by tomkidd »

How do gents

Long time no see, I've been silly busy and slowly working on the car... hopefully the engine will be in within the week...

I'm looking at painting my minispares rad and wondered what paint I should use?

Hi Tom, i usually paint my radiators in 2K black, it always seems to stay on there pretty well and takes the heat fine ;)

Paint will have a negative effect of heat dissipation so keep it to a minimum on the tubes and fins. I use a lacquer made for radiator dipping baths.
