Before you say "well what about porsches and such?" those are powder coated or anodized, powder coating disappates heat better than bare metal itself.

Besides if you're not showing your car why do it? :eh:
well... this is engine "ceramic" paint, so it does dissipate some heat. i already took the heat factor into consideration before painting. we all do mods cuz we like to, and not just for the sole purpose to show our car. to each his own, right?
