Aluminum Radiator
Hi all,
purchased an Aluminum Radiator for my 78 Pace Car. Is there a secret in painting it high heat Satin Black? Is there a prep procedure or just spray it light coats with paint? Thanks, Jim

I used Eastwood Radiator Black paint on mine. It's especially made for this purpose and will not clog the fins like regular rattle can enamel. This.....https://www.eastwood.com/ew-radiator...sol-12-oz.html
Not the best pic, but it looks like a stock black radiator.....

I used a rustolium product that is a paint and primer in one. Satin canyon black . worked great on my aluminium condenser.
