Anyne know what temperature its Ok for?

We have just painted the radiator top I guess it gets up to about 100 degrees there. Do you think the paint will be OK?

Yes, but only in Black.

We have sprayed K series engine rocker covers with no ill effects through heat, some companies also spray the block or complete engines with no problem, just make sure that the preparation is top notch.

Hi max flow temp at boiler is 80 degrees, sorry but it's my specialist subject

Not if the engine boils - could go to 110 C. Assuming car radiator of course - and not domestic! But I think it will be fine with 2 k! beware of the health effects if using that stuff!

you see a lot of radiators painted in hammerite and the like and they are always fine, 2K should be fine too.

Thanks guys,

I won't suffer any health effects, I got my son to do it!

It's all painted now and ready for reassembly air filters, heater box, servo, pedal box and all the brackets.
