I'm planning on using radiator paint to make my fmic less conspicuous. I know I can't use regular paint because it's not as thermally conductive. I really want some opinions on the different brands I may or may not know about that have been proven successful.
Any and all opinions are welcome.

I have used Eastwood Satin Black Radiator paint and I would recommend it.

They also have a gloss finish but I prefer the satin finish

Done w/ $1 wal-mart flat black paint. Went to buy radiator paint, couldn't find it. I have used this stuff before though. If you don't paint in the fins heavily, you'll see little to no difference in cold side air temps.

there is a IC heat conductive paint out there, but not that needed. Many of these ICs guys use with 900 HP V8s, so cheap is fine. Nice work on the van!
