Condensor opinions
I'm going to pull my condensor to flush it completely while I replace the other A/C components. My questions is, if I paint it while it is out, will that lower it's efficiency? All opinions welcome. :cheers:

Re: Condensor opinions (FeedVaal)
Condenser efficiency is dependent on heat to air transfer. Anything you do to slow that rate of transfer will hurt performance. A coat of paint will act as an insulator and slow the heat transfer.
Paint it to stop rust and corrosion but keep it thin.
Better yet, replace it with an alum condenser - efficient, light, shiny.....
