I am in the process of putting all tin including thermostat flaps on my Mexi Longblock. I had inherited chrome cylinder covers that were in good shape(a little rusty) and painted them black. Some writers here say that chrome is NOT good because it retains the heat. Will they still do that if painted black?? Are they OK to use. Will they behave thermodynamically in the same manner as unchromed tin?? Any materials scientists out there?? Eric 62 Ghia cab 68 bug cab
