Patrick: The radiator is a semi gloss/dull black the shroud is a little glossier. The shroud would work well in GM black engine enamel, also perfect for any underhood accessories.

I've had the radiator pulled from my '58 for about 2 months and have been riding it around in the trunk of my daily driver, this in the hopes of happening through a neighboring town (Slidell, Louisiana) to drop it off for a test and anticiapted recore. Today was finally the day, and I was impressed with the shop. They had a '38 Ford in the bay and were plainly busy and well-organized. No wrecks in the side lot, etc. I left the radiator and by the time I got back to my office, they were calling with an estimate for the re-core, $68.00. It's supposed to be done by Friday. They asked me to bring the fuel tank on my next visit. I was impressed, because the reception I've gotten so far from other vendors is that they'd take the tank only if I begged hard enough. My two favorite mechanics in town recommended the shop in Slidell, and I can now see why. QUESTION: I want to paint the radiator tank and the shroud before re-assemble it. I apologize in advance if that information A: is already on the site, or B: was the subject of a recent litany of emails. Regardless, anyone care to give me some pointers? Correct color(s)? Type of paint? Source for paint? Thanks very much.
