it will have some insulating properties and hold heat as a result.

Where is it taking that heat to hold from?

It certainly is'nt creating it on it's own...



Like I said before this is all HARDCORE theory,it could be discussed for/against for a good long time and no concensus would be reached here regardless.

Like George points out there is more than one type of dynamic at work here,and the materials involved,and their properties will greatly influence this all as well,as will many other things,thats why I said I dont hold much to this,its too dificult to quantify in the real world with the practices were forced to adhere to.

In the visible light spectrum, light colors reflect and dark colors absorb the energy.

Radiant energy works a bit different and would take a Phd to explain it all, but ask yourself this simple question;
Why is the bottom of the space shuttle black?

This thread is beginning to look like perpetual motion, kind like the discussions about the 7-10hp differences between intake manifolds such as the HSD, Tomahawk, and RPM . Seems to happens every time race season is over .
