Default Intercooler paint

I am after some radiator I/C paint for my frontmount on my S60R and I have been told about Frost.co.uk who have radiator paint, but only in gloss as they are out of stick of satin. which is what I want. where else can I look?

am i right in thinking black hold heat though. or is this a paint that eliminates this?

cos black will heat up quicker and will stay hot longer when trying to cool down

Cheers for the reply.

Daz, that gloss looks great, but I feel if I was to do that it would look right out of place.
