Cast iron radiators are almost always painted with aluminized paint.
Today I'm sure that paint is available in several HOT colors! The
paint used on auto engines is chemically engineered to radiate engine
heat to help cool the engine, and engine paint is available in many
colors. Nowadays more than ever folks are installing metal roofs on
their homes, they are coated in many colors, the coating is designed
to radiate heat to help keep attics cooler.
