all this shiny/polished surfaces retain/reflect heat and matt black surfaces emitt heat is only relevant to radiation of heat. intercoolers do not work on this method of transferring heat.
intercoolers use convection. the surface colour could be pink and it won't affect the way the intercooler transfers heat.
rocker covers and engine blocks on the other hand only have radiation to use to transfer heat and matt black is the go for them.
