Wed, 05 November 2003 01:50 i have thought about this a lot, and i have kinda come to a few conclusions. (still would like to do some back to back tests) black will radiate heat better, but it also absorbs heat better. anodised (corroded) aluminium is a very good radiator of heat, due to its high surcase area painting something will increase its thermal resistance (heat has to go through paint as well) from what some dude was saying, the radiant heat thing is largely irrelevant, as most of the heat from an intercooler will be conducted to the air, or something. however, if you must paint it, a dark color will be invinitely better than a light color. i personally wouldn't paint an intercooler [Report message to a moderator]
