Over heating -- followup and question
They paint them black for the same reason that disc brake
calipers are painted black - heat radiation. Everything radiates
heat in the form of electromagnetic waves (energy). The ideal
is Black Body Radiation. The emissivity of a painted black
object radiates more like an ideal Black Body than other painted
colors.
