It wasn't very scientific. It was a good watch thoughThey didn't really include all the parameters a car intercooler is subject to. They just demonstrated black radiates heat away better than polished. Any physics teacher could tell you that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything above 0°K does this. The paint covering the cooler does have a "blanket" effect but it isn't really noticed as paint is usually to thin to notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
