Hey Tony, in my profession I study optics and the interaction of light with materials. *Here's my suggestion. *If you like the aluminum color (unpainted), it will stay as cool as white. *Aluminum reflects essentially all the suns rays just like white scatters all of them, so if you paint it, it will probably get warmer than if you just leave it alone. I.e. natural silver color is the new white. *Besides, zero upkeep. Bret I suspect you have not spent much time in Arizona. I have lived here over 20 years and can assure you that white painted objects are much cooler in direct summer sun that bare metal objects. Andy |
