Question for painting radiator

Want to spray paint the radiator on my 12' maxima but don't know if its okay to be done, any negative effects, etc. If it's okay then what sort of paint should be used and appropriate steps for the painting procedure. Thanks

Why would you need to paint the radiator?

Use a thin coat of Eastwood radiator black. Don't use normal spray paint. I've been meaning to do mine since my aftermarket billet grill is black and you can see straight through it

Do what Tony said. Normal spray paint would reduce the ability of the radiator to do the task it is there for - to cool down the coolant used to keep the engine from overheating.
