Can anyone advise me regarding my oil cooler. 1961 1200 CC engine, and the oil cooler appears to be a made of some copper or brass and some steel. Is it OK to paint these, minus the mounting face, before re-installation? Will the paint have a negative affect on its ability to cool? I do not want to insulate it! But it appears that it may have been painted black in the past.
Thanks,
John
