Did you use Jet-Hot? Has the coating lived up to your expectations for the cost? Jet-Hot offers three levels of coating, plus a lot of colors, but that adds cost. I'm looking at this more from the perspective that heat is the enemy. Customers have stated less radiated heat (notably on motorcycles) and quicker cooling times. Guess what I'm trying to wrap my noggin around is, the engine itself isn't making less heat, it's more about how effective the coating is at scavenging heat and if that difference, if measurable, is worth the hefty cost.
I wouldn't guess the color has a lot to do with it. Seems that would be more of an issue if radiant light was a factor.
