Painting an aluminum radiator?
I have a couple of the Chinese aluminum radiators and I do like them and the price. About 225.00 and free shipping. Before I install this next one I would like to paint it a satin black. Scuff up the tanks with scotchbrite? What do I prime with? Does paint on the fins hinder cooling? Any advice? Thanks. GB
