hammerite

i dont think the cooler would be overly efficient after that

thin matt black is proven to be more efficient iirc

If you cover it in masking tape, it keeps the sunlight off it, so you get lower ACT's

One of my mates had his powder coated

Doesn't seem like a good idea to me.

Surely any covering, be it paint or masking tape

, will reduce efficiency?
Im guessing it will be a very small reduction though?
