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

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.
