The reason Peter said that is because his supplier only coats in silver. If you want black, he coats in silver and applies VHT paint over the silver. The guy I'm using can coat in silver or black with equal durability. I think any ceramic coating will lower temp, and it mainly comes down to looks for me.

Do you have silver primaries and black sidepipes? If so, can you see the transition from the outside of the car?
