Default Paint FMIC?

I have the Greddy FMIC, I am wanting to paint black to keep the stock G35 sleeper look.
What typr of black paint would be safe? Not clog the fins on the cooler? I am thinking about the heat paint (like for grills)??

Default FMIC coating

You don't want to use heat paint (acts as a thermal barrier) , you want to have a "thermal dispersant coating = TDC" applied. The shop I am familiar with is:

I beleive Swaintech as others also offer such a prodict and service.
