What is the correct radiator color for a 67 500? What shade or gloss level of black?

Thanks

Black

With a 42.6 % gloss level

This product looks pretty good. You do not want a heavy coat - just enough to cover for optimum radiator performance.

I think more like 42.7 but that is just me.

Radiator paint is a special  type paint for radiators to help cooling and durability i was told by my old radiator rebuilder.

Dammit............I did mine in 42.4.  Wondered why it wasn't glossy enough.

Most often IMHO they were painted with a fairly high amount of gloss than dulled quickly due to heat cycles as period NOS examples from the same supplier document

Believe the paint was a lacquer based one

Spot on Ed.
It has other ingredients, I believe an oil based type asphalt,>>> not the best description of ingredient though.
It was rather thick too.

When we had our radiators repaired the radiator shop owner told us that paint will slightly reduce the heat exchange. I forget the correct  substance they use to coat  radiators black. But I guess a rattle can will do
