"Painting a radiator black would almost certainly make its performance worse. You have no guarantee it will be any blacker in the far infra-red, and the paint itself would act as a heat insulator degrading the radiators ability to transfer heat to the air."

You saw this part right ?

You have a point that the paint may not be the most effective at cooling by convection, but the paint is so thin it won,t be much of an insulator.
