The "Off Branders" said the same thing, and even those with originals said the same thing too.

Thanks for this warning.
What paint is recommended? Seems it would have to be thin, more like a lacquer or something formulated to not build much.
I just installed a Cold Case radiator and chose to not paint it but my front bumper and grills are off. You raise a good point about the appearance from the front. Under the hood I personally don't care... I even tolerate the Cold Case logo on the inside face.
