Best Answer

radiators should be black because black not only absorbs heat, it also gives out a lot of heat as well.

If you think this is wrong or I have no proof please see the question

how do you make an experiment up of "looking at heat absorbsion and reflection"

You can paint the radiator tanks any color you want to but don't paint the radiator core itself. Painting the core will negatively affect the radiators ability to transfer heat away from the engine coolant.

My radiators in the bedrooms are cold and don't heat up but they are warm and toasty in the rest of the house we have oil heat any suggestions?

I assume that you are referring to hot water radiators, heated by an oil furnace. These radiators could have air in them and will not allow the hot water to fill them and give off any heat. If these are connected to the same hot water line that feeds the other working radiators, the in and out lines and the bottom on the cold ones should be hot. These radiators will then have to have the air bled out of them. They should have a valve on the top somewhere to do this. If there is no heat in the lines there must be separate line to that room that is plugged or shut off.
