Thats right bugger all, and the heat transfer is still there, perhaps slightly hindered but we're talking about 1% of it's surface area. I was referring more about the problems caused if you block up the holes in the core with paint so that air isnt passing through it properly.. especially if its ****ty paint. I dont think itd have to be very thick to have air bouncing off the cooler instead of going through it. Each to their own though.. I still wouldnt do it. Even though like you said its only sprayed on the front.. but any restriction on the front of it is going to carry on through the rest of the cooler as that where all the air is coming through.

I don't know what sort of paint you use, but a black etch primer is measured in microns, not millimeters, you'd have to be farken heavy handed (or retarded) to block the flow.
