I didn't read the test, but surely red paint won't help there. 
Colors are very related to heat dispersion.  The best color
for that purpose is definitely the BLACK.

I remember years ago Honda motorcycles made that XL600 Paris Dakar
enduro bike with a completely red painted engine, and some troubles
have been reported.  Painting calipers in red will surely look
GREAT, but the heat will not be wasted away the right way.

I hope some engineer out there can explain this thing better.
