If it matters. The color/paint used to increase radiation doesn't do anything.

Now there is a paint that is designed to absorb longwave radiation and convert it to heat.....

It performs almost as well as plain ole flat black :)

Yep
Bruce the science guy:

actually, there is a lot of reason not to paint it black
it should be running at around 350K. That makes its thermal emission
peak at about 8.4 microns.

this is mid infrared... so to enhance heat loss, it's fine to paint it
with somethng that has high emmisivity in the mid infra-red. You can
be fairly sure that black paint is not such a material. Neither is
anodising but sandblasting may work well.

8-27-12, The rear's being mocked for the new rear custom built Q1'a, Front's are in an Done!! Battery's going in the spare tire holder then i'll get a trunk kit to hide it. Now i'm debating the seat upholstery. Go Leather stock color's or stay stock colored cloth...it's $200 difference,but with the leather kit you get the rear side an front side door panel material too...It's almost ready for the first fire-up!!! Opps,totaly forgot to ask about heat dispersant paint,I'll get the name an brand next trip ;^)

9-5-12 ,The Rear's been mocked an being assembled an checked for straightness,The battery box is in (adding a fake one in front to hide relays an the Alky pump). Once it's rolling again an battery's in it it's time to Power it up an debug anything found. It's about that time to Call goddess Holly for Cal....The Xfi's been 2.0 updated an traction control installed. To make sure i dont screw the pouch i'm have Cal Hartline go over the car before first fire,then hopefully fire it an go for some test drives, I can't dyno it yet till i break in the brand new gear's in the rear, so'll we'll just do drivability test an knowing me do one full throttle hwy run at 22psi.
