sup ppl,
if a radiator painted black will cool 15% to 20% better than an unpolished aluminum/copper radiator. is this true?????????????????????????????????? |
who told you that?
|
i read it off rx7club.com i just want it to see what u guy think
|
I dunno about that, seems like BS. Black attracts heat, don't know about dissipating it
|
If it were true, dont you think rad. manufactures would paint them black for the said benifits?
|
send it to swain tech coatings and have the heat extractor coating put on it.....like a polymoly coat for pistons...
|
Paint is an insulator. You would need a special coating that transfers heat better than the bare aluminum. Typical paint will not do this, but the previously mentioned swain coating may.
|
Whoever told you that doesn't know what the **** they are talking about. Coincidentally, they came from RX7Club.

Yeah paint is typically an insulator. There may be a special material that works.
LOL, almost like saying if you paint your windshield you would be able to see better at night. |
