....An engine case that's been painted should be avoided.
Heat transfer is very important for any air-cooled engine. Applying paint is like putting on a blanket.
Just wanted to share this info.......

Painted can be a very bad thing. Insulating the heat INSIDE the case. One exception, black paint.. It absorbs heat, and gives off heat much quicker than any other color. Now, Im not quite sure if the effect of black would hinder, or help the cooling effect of the motor. But I will say this. The heatsink on my CPU processor was silver, I painted it black, and the CPU temp dropped 10 degrees at full load. (i.e. playing games) I would just avoid any other color but black.
