My only concern with powder coating the block, is that powder coating is a
thick (relatively) plastic coating. While the block typically does not, as
stated previously, shed much of the heat load, the thickness of powder coating
will not only insulation, it will radiate far less than bare aluminum,
regarless of color.
Is this really a cause for concern? I don't know, probably not, but I'm
certain powder coat will trap far more heat than paint, certainly more than a
bare metal surface.
