Need to paint the rad on my old TR6 as looks well scruffy. Was going to mask the centre off and paint the outside bits, but from whats being said on here am I OK to paint the lot?

I asked some powder coaters the other day as i was'nt sure how companys like pro alloy do it and i did'nt know if powder coating would be to thick. they said they can and it was £40 for the rad and £40 for an rs500 size intercooler. How were the factory rs500 intercoolers done? paint or powder coat?

my motorcross parts will all anodised no problems.. imo it will be alot more affective than any form of paint as it wont affect cooling in anyway

feel free to anodize my rad and cooler for a test

Mine came as standard painted black along the top plate, and a slight way down the sides and core. I want to do the lot though. Want everything to be black and blue!
