Radiator paint will work.
So will ANY lacquer-based flat black spray.
Again, the key is _thin coats_.
The radiator gets reasonably warm (hopefully less than 250F), so you don't
really even need engine paint. BTW, I would not use the hi-temp engine
paint, a lot of that stuff goes on too thick which would be "bad" in this
application.
I won't knock Eastwood, they sell quality products. But I'll bet that you
can pick up a can of similar "stuff" at the local Auto-*-Boys type
retailer. In other words, Eastwood is overkill for this application.
