aftermarket intercoolers arent painted and i would say this is cause they prob cool better when they are not.

incorrect - you cannot beat the laws of thermodynamics (although acountants claim to)

i would say aftermarket companies would have investigated the heat transfer of both painted and unpainted.

incorrect - they spend far more time establishing what will sell, than what will work

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.

i think i can only leave this to a rally car engineer to answer, as id imagine there are a 1000's of issues relating to what they run - not all being prformance oriented.

and besides, the heat difference is probably minimal anyway

yes, black is such a cool colour isnt it. i love leaning on a black car that been sitting in the sun...
