Radiator Color

[Railroad]

I ordered some Nomex grid, like WareagleScott, to protect the radiator. I was headed to the store to buy some flat black, when I wondered if aluminum color would look better. Had to buy both and wait on some suggestions. Pictures would be great.
thanks,

Railroad,
Can I ask where you got the Nomex grid?

I painted mine silver so it looks like the radiator.

Speedway sells it. My car is Ford magnetic gray and most of my trim is satin black. I powdercoated the inner mouth aluminum also satin black and painted the nomex protector the same color. Gives the mouth a dark maw - which I like for my paint scheme; thinks it really depends on the exterior look and the overall theme you are trying to achieve.

Painted mine with aluminum rattle can paint so it matches the radiator -- a casual look and you don't even notice it there.

Here’s what Nomex painted silver looks like (rattle can). Nomex sucks up paint like a sponge. If you decide to paint it buy at least a couple cans.

My cover is obviously not the Nomex grid but it is silver - this is stainless mesh from Pegasus Racing.

Jim, I ordered it from Speedway here is the part number for the size I bought. I think it will need trimming, which I have read, is easily done with a box cutter.

I have the nomex (Speedway product) and painted it matte black.
