best way to get rid of those stickers go down to a paint supplyer(automotive) and ask for a toffee wheel they are only a fiver then put it in a drill and put it over the ticker area and it will leave no glue then you can charge you mate a fiver a time to theres that's what i did but nicked one from work and made 70 quid at one cruise

well i would say it'd be only safe to spray the outer edge of the rad, if you sprayed the fins it would just block them up wouldnt it! or do you mean u cant paint the outer bits
