    Radiator Painting

    by chopshop » Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:35 pm

    Im would like to have black radiators on my 250R. Powdercoating isnt an option because the heat will melt the solder. I was wondering if i could use some PJ1 engine case paint. It can withstand 500 degrees F. Would that work?

    Standard engine paints are too thick for radiator use because they can interfere with heat transfer and block air flow between the cooling fins. Also, standard paint tends to flake off radiator tanks. Radiator Black helps solve this problem. This acrylic enamel factory-finish (85% gloss) withstands 300ºF., sprays on thick enough to cover completely, yet thin enough to not interfere with heat transfer. Great for heater cores and air conditioning condensers, too! Each 12 oz net wt. can covers 6 sq. ft. Most radiators require 2 cans for full coverage. Buy 3 or more and SAVE!

    Wow. :shock:
    That was pretty amazing. His help was so on-spot and to the point, I gotta try this: :lol:

    I would like to have my mortgage paid off by the end of this year. The 2 difficult factors are that I owe 28 years on it, and as of yet, the mortage company isn't accepting 'photographs of money' as payment.

    How does radiator black do on Monopoly money? :lol: :lol: :lol:
