Radiator Coating Finish for 68 Charger

[4402tuff4u]

Does anyone know the correct finish for a radiator on a 68 Charger? satin black or high gloss?

[BLAM]

Painted 30deg gloss black on the tank top and bottom.  Fins should be flat black.

Is it a special type of paint that needs to be used?

Eastwood makes a nice radiator black that is not too thick so it dissapates the heat better

I always thought that the rads were gloss black up untill the mid to late 70's?  Maybe I am mistaken?

Is'nt 30 degree gloss black - high gloss? I think it is.

I think 30 deg is semi-gloss, but I'm not positive...

30 degree gloss black is the same as semi gloss black.
