willcolumbine Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 High temperature paint should be fine. I've always used it and had no problems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Any colour you like, as long as it's black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulB Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Thanks for the advice. I shall get painting once I've mowed the lawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I would be careful about painting the fins though. The paint will help insulate them, reducing cooling. So as thin as possible........the tanks don't matter Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irish44j Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 my newly-painted radiator, with a little "window" to the brass ;)I used high-heat spray for BBQs....it sticks better on the brass than engine paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heraldcoupe Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Eastwood used to sell a paint formulated specifically for radiators. While I've never used that particular one, their other custom finishes have always been excellent and performed exactly as intended. Since Eastwood pulled out of the UK, I believe Frost carries most, if not all of their paints,Cheers,Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
