Is painting the radiator not causing any problems with cooling afterwards ?
I imagine the paint would start working as an insulator keeping the heat
inside the radiator instead of being released ?
You don't have changes in cooling or engine running temperature since, Gary
?

Ryan,
I believe so. I used the Eastwood paint on the entire radiator, tanks
and fins. No problems. Apply it lightly to the fin area, not too
heavy.
