The reason companies do not paint radiators black is usually for 2 reasons:

A.) The cost and performance differences are so minimal, that they can't justify painting the IC black.

B.) Most people like the look of the silver IC over black, for visual purposes.

I personally never cared either way. I've used a painted IC when I had a rock puncture mine for about a month, and iddn't notice any difference on my fbody
