I was wondering about this too. I'm about to prime and paint my O and masked off the fins of the k161. I wouldn't think that they left the fins to be bare metal when they made them. Bare aluminum on the hydro, ok I get it as aluminum won't rust. But the debate of paint insulating the fins seems to not make sense. Id like to see a real world temperature difference with heat gun measurements painted or not painted to see if it really does matter
