Radiator color

Hi cysco,
all the cores at The Dealer were painted black from Cat or the outsource Radiator repairers, and always the thinnest of coatings to aid heat conductivity. Black has been determined to be the colour of best heat transfer in either direction, ie, taking in or giving out from the surroundings which in this case is the air stream.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi Eddie.......I have heard that paint will sometimes interfere with the heat transfer but I am assuming that depends on how much and color that is applied. I know the "high temp" paints are thinner and tend to adhere better with the temp variations.
Thanks for the info
Have a good day.........Bill
