Should disperse heat better but if I drive on a sunny day will the rotors warp? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 23/05/12 11:52 AM Share Posted 23/05/12 11:52 AM (edited) I'm gonna get out the laser thermometer at work tomorrow and tag the heat of all the different colors in the tritons engine bay..An I thought impellor was implying that black was 8% hotter then plain but shiny was also hot or something..So technically your black painted brakes are bad..But black tires should be hotter then white tires so you can make them stickier with a burnout.. Where as white tires won't generate any heat while rotating on the tarmac.. So the tires won't smoke.. But the road surface being black absorbs all the heats so in effect the road will smoke if you spin white tires..Physics is fun!!

sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 3m 23d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 23/05/12 11:59 AM Share Posted 23/05/12 11:59 AM have done it with thermal imaging cameraresultsthe shiny bits and the black bits have at least 8% difference in temp. I polished a bit on the heat shield and then painted a matte black stripe beside it. About 20% difference in temps.it's called emissivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidence or conspiracy?PS fair point about the black brake rotors. Paint them white man! Pro tip: buy white out from the newsagent up the road.
