What to use to paint radiator black??

Hey Guys,
As I said in my other post, now that I have mesh I need to paint the radiator... What is best to do this that will not affect performance?? I didn't plan on doing the intercoolers as I do not want to hurt performance, is there any product that will allow me to do the intercoolers as well??
Thanks,
Evan

If you're just going for appearances, whatever, but you
*should* be concerned more for not affecting the ability
of the radiator to radiate heat. If you give it a coat of
anything that insulates it at all, you're making it not work
as well. I would *not* recommend a DIY spray job.
It's aluminum, so if you want your color, I would
recommend getting it anodized black. That would be a
very thin non-insulating surface, and the black might
even help radiate.
