Yip mate black absorbs heat can't see it making too much diff though...
Dark Samurai Black does absorb heat.

I look in to check if he's rebuilt the supercharger and find a debate on physics going on
Just to throw some more wood on the fire:

I haven't read through the attached links, but off the top of my head I think the colour black absorbs infrared waves (the ones that make stuff hot). However I really don't think it would be anything to get 'hot and bothered' about
Its really very simple:
There are only three ways for heat to move from one place to another: conduction, convection, radiation.
Conduction is molecules crashing into each other. If one side of a material is hotter than the other, heat can be conducted through.
Convection is molecules carrying energy through a liquid or gas. Hot air rising is an example of convection.
Radiation is light waves passing from one material to another. Incandescent light bulbs emit radiation because the wire within is heated.
Color has no effect on conduction or convection. It does, however, affect radiation. Material looks dark if it absorbs most of the light that hits it. A material that cannot absorb radiation will reflect it to your eyes, making the material look like the color of the light. If a surface absorbs most of the light hitting it, the surface heats up quickly - basic law of conservation of energy:lol:

sprinter2012 Looks like my double A's in science haven't worn of quite yet then
Good example/proof of this is those solar water heating tubes you put on your roof. Guess what colour they are...?
