The question is whether or not to power coat the pickup bed cover as show in the link following:

So on a sunny / hot day will white or silver work better to keep my race tires cooler?

White is best for cool.....

There is a reason the top of the Space Shuttle is white......

The REALLY REALLY EXPENSIVE black CarbonCarbon tiles on the bottom just don't care what color they are...

Almost no heat transmision (unless there is a hole) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
