Thanks for all the helpful comments. I think I'm convinced to keep the aluminum radiator as it's working well but I like Carl's idea of painting the top tank. I imagine that you sprayed those tanks before you installed them, Carl, so I'll need to pull this one - but it saves me several hundred bucks & seems like a good compromise.
