I wouldn't do it...the paint surely can't help heat transfer any.

We have painted intercoolers on all the machines at work, as long as you dont CAKE the fins with paint i'm sure you'd be fine.. but like raptor said, it wont help anything

there is such a thing as radiator paint, it allows the best heat transfer properties for radiators(aside from no paint of course). none of you have ever seen a painted radiator before?

Black would be the color to use.
