Does anyone know of a practiced shop that can still properly boil out, rod and reassemble a stock 30 Model A radiator in the Sacramento, Auburn, Grass Valley CA or Reno NV area?

What type black paint should be used on radiator when done? Les says not Enamel but Black Tar Based...what would I find that?

Thanks
