Enamel for Radiator Matrix.

If we change to a radiator with grille or dummy shutters either on Bentley or Ph.II or 20/25, it will be necessary to treat the matrix with a dull black finish paint, as mentioned in E {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} /Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 1/MN.23.12.35.

We understand that you have some of this paint, and would like you to treat the radiators of 33-EX and 6-B-IV with it in order to see if any trouble is experienced with flaking off under running conditions.
