          no primer. The paint attacked and black paint and came off in chunks. So I brought the radiator back to metal and painted it. When I do the next, I'll probably use primer if the paint comes off again.

            That colour looks amazing! Next time use self etching primer and you won't have to strip the rad.

              Its kinda a dark blue, not sure if it will look black in low light conditions. I'll be using the colour in other locations too.

                  Did a little bit more painting. I know EK is getting a ton of flack right now for there ugly blocks. But isn't this an outright handsome block?
