I don't think the color of the paint makes any difference. Black does have the tendency to absorb heat, while white tends to reflect it, but I suspect heat from the engine, going through a steel exhaust pipe, doesn't have any preference as to white or black. It's going to get hot anyhow. After all, in the absence of light, everything is black. We use ceramic cone heaters to heat plastic. The cones are white. It doesn't make any difference if the sheet we are heating is white or black, the heat time is the same for each.
