Good luck!! | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 341 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 341 | Radiator black paint from Eastwood: LINK

I find the $.99 store brand of flat black works really well for radiator fins, and a better brand of semi gloss for the tanks. As for the frame and such, any of the better brands will work as long as its grease and oil free.
