I hope you dont mean the fins in the radiator, they are neccessary for cooling!

[Doober]

im thinking hes meaning the plastic pieces in front of the radiator, i dont see why your couldnt paint them black

[desratt]

i keep mine on just for protection of damaging the actual radiator fins

Ditto, I'm thinking they stop a lot of the bigger rocks from hitting the actual rad it self.

Put them in a pot of boiling water. Then add food coloring. The color you want them to be. It will soak up the color, like dyeing them. I don't know if they make black food coloring.

You can also use RIT dye. I think you can get it in shoprite

[Ty's400]

I wouldn't take them off, because they help protect the radiator and also flow air to it. They make spray paint for plastics check your local Home Depot, Lowes, etc., just make sure you clean them well before you spray them and at room temp.

The dye works well. Buddy at work who is into RC uses it for his RC truck wheels and they look awesome and it holds up.
