So CT steel will get hotter.. it just won’t feel hotter to the touch as polished steel would, right?Very highly polished SS wont get as hot as less polished because highly polished reflects all the energy striking it. The recipe for high temperature is a dull surface and low emissivity.
It'll be hot. Ask the few delorian owners on the forums....So CT steel will get hotter.. it just won’t feel hotter to the touch as polished steel would, right?
I think you meant high emissivity? Emissive is the opposite of reflective.The recipe for high temperature is a dull surface and low emissivity.
Oh, fair enough. I was just thinking, emissivity + reflectivity = 1. That doesn't make them "opposites" I guess hahaEmissive and reflective are perpendicular.

What the hell is that ghostly image?? Is that what they call "black body radiation"
This has probably been covered but mildly concerned about the skin getting really hot in direct sunlight. Luckily there won’t be any door handles to access the vehicle but wanted to get others thoughts about this. Boondocking in the desert sun of ~100 degrees would make touching the vehicle unlikely. I know there has been talk of wraps for the truck but I like the SS look and want to keep it simple.
This will not be quite as big a problem in the cold of winter but if cold enough your skin could stick to the surface when touching I suppose. Of course I’m talking below zero temps.
Thanks!
