Default Tranny cooler.

Just ordered my 40k tru cool and had 2 questions, what black paint is everyone using to paint it?

and anyone with the compass,thermo mirror, did you leave yer sensor in the stock spot or relocate it, if you left it alone, is it off any now?

I removed that entire bar with the sensor on it and punched a hole into the plastic piece in the bottom to put it on. Still reads the same.
Considering putting the bar back on and bolting the cooler to it. Just have to drill out the holes.
