Polished or Black Powder Coated?

Which is better, polished or black powder coated? Cause I was orignally told that polished because black holds in heat but now I hear both metals hold heat but polished reflects it out. So let me know which is better? Thanks!

its funny someone with these mods :

2006 White Cobalt LS Sedan Mods: Driver mod stage 3, spec stage 2+ clutch(in a sedan ls?), tinted tail lights, custom painted interior, 2 kicker 12" L5 with audiobahn 1800 watt amp, custom short ram air intake, cf gas cover, blue hood stripes, eclipse cd3000 head-unit, interior leds and strobes.

tends to point out alot of "rice" in other cars...

lol, i wasn't calling it rice. i was saying its shiny n nice. ur from socal, does ludacris throw rice in a video? i wasn't trying to come across that at all. lol, n what does neons, interior, stripes, got to do with rice? fart cannons n wings are rice. its a 2.2 cobalt, and when i got it there wasn't alot of modding to do with the engine. n i wanted it to look good. take ur big bad TVS and go whine! lol. the whole "rice" thing had nothing to do with anyone in particular, i'm going on no sleep, and was just talking.

oh n also, the reason why i bought the spec stage 2 + is because i needed a clutch bc my brother tore mine up, and why spend money on an OEM replacement, when i cud buy a better one. n i will need it, after i'm done with it since tuning is now available. also, i'm modding a "sedan ls?" as u put it because i know i can confidently throw down a good 300whp when i'm done with it. n i'm stopping there because thats all i want n all i need.




i personally think that looks nice. its not finished, but its deff not rice.
