Painting a Radiator?
I want to paint my radiator and things behind my grille black. What paint should I use? I don't want to make it less efficient or anything...

What color we talking? I'd hope black, and if that's the case, stick with Eastwood's radiator paint. Spray it thin or you're have problems with the radiator doing the job it was intended for.
Gloss: Eastwood Co. - Radiator Black Gloss Paint 12 oz Satin: Eastwood Co. - Radiator Black 12 oz Satin Finish

Advance doesn't carry Eastwood. They only carry Duplicolor and Dupont. AFAIK. I don't remember, and I'm not going to call work to find out lol.
