I finally got my custom painted billet grilles, love the new look except the fact i can see the radiator on really sunny days.

Anyone have an idea shy of painting the rad.

Thanks

Use high heat paint on the radiator but make sure the radiator is not hot

Stelianos

You think that could potentially void my warranty?

Your dealer would have to prove that the radiator malfunctioned because of the paint in order to void your warranty.

Nice grill.. Where in Ontario are u?

Stelianos

London, thanks how about you?

yea paint the radiator black - when it's cooled off. and check this link out when you have a chance, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act is a modder's best friend

Hey I am in Mississauga..
I've thinking about blacking out the grill but Making the frame around red..

I've painted the radiators on many of my autos with no problem. And yes do it when it's cool.

Thanks for the help guys, I'm going to order some easton rad paint.

Stelianos

I'm super new so sorry if this is a dumb question: I also want to get a grill and I found a two piece set on amazon but it stated that it didn't come with any mounting pieces. Do I just simply remove the stock grill mounting piece and stick on the after market grill?

Thanks in advance.

You have to be careful with what you order. Some of the sets just zip tie over the existing grill, and some replace the entire assembly.

Did you get the lower one also?
How much did you pay?


It is difficult to see it in the pic you posted.

I suspect this will work for USA people, but not for us Canadian folks..

No worries, nylon wire ties should be your primary means for attachment. Use the thick and beefy ones or just double up on the thinner ones. They should hold up quite well.

dr_2010SV

Yeah NO way. I do not agree with doing this. These are aluminum heat sinks and should not be coated with anything.
If you look at the tight fin spacing on both cores, any added coatings could impair engine and CVT cooling.

Ahem, pardon the thread res.

I was digging around the forums regarding aluminum performance radiators. I came across this a while back. This could be helpful for those that do want to black out their radiator. Note: Never tried it myself so if anyone has it'd be nice to hear about it.
