RE: IML: IML Paint the Radiator, '58 Southampton

Patrick:
The radiator is a semi gloss/dull black the shroud is a little glossier.
The shroud would work well in GM black engine enamel, also perfect for
any underhood accessories.

Radiator paint question...

I've had the radiator pulled from my '58 for about 2 months and have
been riding it around in the trunk of my daily driver, this in the hopes
of happening through a neighboring town (Slidell, Louisiana) to drop it
off for a test and anticiapted recore.  Today was finally the day, and I
was impressed with the shop.  They had a '38 Ford in the bay and were
plainly busy and well-organized.  No wrecks in the side lot, etc.  I
left the radiator and by the time I got back to my office, they were
calling with an estimate for the re-core, $68.00.  It's supposed to be
done by Friday.  They asked me to bring the fuel tank on my next visit.
I was impressed, because the reception I've gotten so far from other
vendors is that they'd take the tank only if I begged hard enough.  My
two favorite mechanics in town recommended the shop in Slidell, and I
can now see why.

QUESTION: I want to paint the radiator tank and the shroud before
re-assemble it.  I apologize in advance if that information A: is
already on the site, or B: was the subject of a recent litany of emails.
Regardless, anyone care to give me some pointers?  Correct color(s)?
Type of paint? Source for paint? 

Thanks very much.
