Evening Mark,

I really love the look of the black finish on the radiator and AC condenser. Do you have any tips or suggestions to get the OE look that actually stays on.

Thanks in advance.

Not to be flippant but hire a good painter. I honestly have never painted a radiator until I did Red Devil and the Dutchboys suggested painting it.

I know this time around they painted them black then applied a satin clear to get the correct sheen.

On my Blazer I used a lot of SEM Trim Black. At home when I need to repair something Trim Black works great.

Good luck

Mark

You guys buying that high dollar name brand spray paint. I'm over here with ACE satin black going to town on my radiator, lol.

Another great build, Mark. Your team did a great job.

I go back and forth between SEM and VHT rollbar & chassis paint. For me, VHT lays down nicer.

I feel they spray the same but the VHT is easier to find for me.
