James:

I did the same thing to my radiator when it sprung a leak on the overflow 
tube.  I took it down to the radiator shop in town and had the leak fixed, 
lealving explicit instructions that I did NOT want the radiator painted. 
Once I got it home, the core was begining to tarnish and look a little 
green.  I went down to the hardware store and bought some "Tarn-X" and 
brushed it onto both sides of the core, making it sure it got down inside 
the fins.  Sure enough, it cleaned it up really well, taking the green 
corrosion off and leaving the fins and tubes looking good.  I then masked 
off the core and painted the tanks black as per "The Book of Norman."  The 
radiator looks great and is as efficient as possible.

Best of luck,
