I used black implement paint that I got from Tractor Supply, and added a hardener to it for the chassis, after sand-blasting. The other suspension components were sandblasted and painted with a low-gloss black, by the guy who also blasted them. Ditto for the rear end.

By the way, it's a whole lot easier to spray them, than to brush 'em....just in case you wondered.

As for the radiator and condensor....the wrong paint will insulate them and make heat transfer much more difficult.
