    You don't want to spray paint the cooling surfaces of the radiators/tranny/oil coolers, it will affect how well they work

    IMO you could tape off and paint the non-cooling surfaces (the areas that don't have the tiny fins), but I wouldn't put paint on the cooling fins

    Just use high temp black spray paint and it works fine. I just drove cross country towing a 5000 pound trailer and my truck never overheated or even showed signs. Pop out your grill, tape some spots off and spray it. Way easier

    Yeah, I haven't had problems either. I also didn't lather on the paint on the fins - everything else that was exposed, though, and it all blended into the background. Mud on the other hand..... don't cake your radiator in that stuff, trust me. :D
