can i just throw a few theories to you all? no? too bad.
radiators usually are black on older cars, but alot of new cars are just leaving them unpainted as you will notice. i THINK that maybe the reason why they are painted black is to make the front of a stock car look better as it doesnt draw attention to the front air passages. aftermarket intercoolers arent painted and i would say this is cause they prob cool better when they are not. i would say aftermarket companies would have investigated the heat transfer of both painted and unpainted.
also if you look at rally car intercoolers (which are quite often out of view under the bonnet) you will notice they do not have paint. just something to ponder.
and besides, the heat difference is probably minimal anyway, but i chose to leave mine black so it doesnt get noticed.
