    Condenser Paint

    I have a replacement condenser and when it showed up - it's just the raw aluminum color. What can I use to paint it black?
    thanks

    The same goes for painting the engine cooling radiators, a laquer based semi gloss paint, do not not an oil based coating.

    If it were me I would leave it natural...But if you paint it , first spray it down with  paint prep solvent and dust on a light coat of Dupli-Color  "etching primer " to make the paint stick to the aluminum, then paint it with Krylon semi flat...jj
