Should I paint It?

Like the question says, paint or no paint. I am leaning towards paint because I have nothing shiny or polished under the hood of the car. This is the new radiator for my 1966 coup project.

I'd just leave it if it were me, I don't think it'll clash too much. A satin/matte black would look pretty good too though.

make it disappear. same color as the rest of the engine bay

I think it will look good either way id prolly just leave it how it is

i kinda wish i painted my radiator :/

I kind of like my shiny Fluidyne. It would be nice in a black though, would the paint have any affect on heat dissipation?

If it was a big wide radiator, I'd say leave it natural but since it's a narrow one, paint her up!

I say paint it to match

 

[JStang98]

Yea after seeing it in the car I say paint it

you should get thermo-dispersing powder-coating for it.

thanks for the input. I am buying radiator paint on Saturday. Hopefully it will be warm enough to paint it this weekend.

I installed the grille to see what it would look like. Changed my mind, going to keep it alluminum. I can always paint it black later, once it is painted there is no going back.
