You can paint them if you really want to... They contribute some cooling, but not a huge amount that I have been able to tell. A very thin coat of flat black may help them radiate heat slightly better--but a thick coat of paint (especially one that looks really nice!) will keep heat from transferring as well.
I'd leave them alone, myself. But then again, I'm lazy. --DD |
