Shiney surfaces retain heat. Thats why your gran would try to keep her teapot shiney, to keep her tea from cooling down too fast. Some of chryslers engines has wrinkle black painted rocker covers. I've always found that chrome rocker covers retain heat to the point that the valve guide seals will bake hard in only 6-9 months.
