1958 radiator paint

[John R.]

Can anyone give me the correct paint for a 1958 radiator? Hopefully there is something that I can pick up from a local auto part store, or home depot vs ordering from a corvette supplier. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

John, This is what I used. It is also available in satin which is what I used. It doesn't go on real smooth but it looks good, did not burn off and did not effect heat transfer.

John, Dupli color makes a black engine paint that should cover the temp. Of the radiator.GM used black paint on the engines around 83/84.
