as far as prep for painting its best to degrease, dry, etch prime then paint. on the end tanks you could give them a light sand. also do light coats as you dont want to block the air flow. hope that helps

Thats it Don't worry about Prime Waste of Time!!!! Scourer/Sand end tanks, clean Degrease with Wax and grease Remover Naptha petroluem base!!! not engine degreaser. Clean off and Spray as Woggin has Stipulated You can do this process with Engine covers cam covers anything pretty much!!!!

Go to supercheap, buy some spray on (aerosol) wax and grease remover and a cheap can of their cheap $4 aerosol paint (they have plenty of colours to choose from). Satin black would be my choice, but matte or even gloss black will do the job. Black is generally the go as it will help a little with heat transfer.

Spray the wax and grease remover on then wipe it off with a clean rag, spray down with compressed air to remove any debris. Then tape/paper up any areas you dont want paint on (if its already mounted on the car) and give it a couple of coats, thin coats is the go - build it up.

Not that it would make a great deal of difference, but you could use heat transfer paint (coil kote) that is designed for painting evaporators in coolrooms and fridges. Its thin to promote airflow and non insulating. Smile
