paint

What can I paint my radiator on my 8n with? I heard enamel paint will make it heat.

U shouldn’t paint radiators because u get the most efficient heat transfer with the bare metal. But if u must; use an aluminized type paint such as applied to exhaust manifolds.

Do you want to paint just the tanks or tanks and fins?

When my little brother was in high school he thought it would look cool to paint his radiator with aluminum paint, car instantly started to overheat. I remembered reading in Hot Rod magazine that black displaced heat the best, painted black and the overheating went away.

Only paint the tanks. Use black enamel paint.

There is a paint just for radiators, might take some looking around or Google-fu to find it.
