The thickness of the paint is the only thing that will cause less heat rejection and automotive paint with out the asphalt base will peel is what the people at Wayside Radiator one of largest shops in Houston Tx told me. I have many radiators painted with flat black paint from WM in the rattle cans that were never a problem

Uh did I actually say GLOSSY black! My mistake!
What I used was grill paint, which is flat black and after about two years you can't even tell it was painted!
Trust me, the problem has been fixed and the paint had nothing to do with it.
Why is it everyone that has an issue and ask for help, everyone almost always says to post when and how the issue was fixed? When we do, were almost always told we do it wrong or what we did to fix the issue isn't what fixed it?
Geeze, I posted the issue was fixed and you guys are still posting probable reasons or causes!

     Hey, Ace, your post earlier said that you'd done three things --
1)  Cleaned a piece of rag out of a thermostat
2)  Flushed it well
3)  Changed the fan belt
     How many thermostats are on your engine?  Do you have any idea which of the three was the most important to solving the running hot or was it probably a combo of all three?  Glad to hear it's fixed (and reasonably cheap).
