Re: I painted my Acurite 5 in 1, have you?

The color is dark enough (grey) that it absorbs enough sun to raise the temp on the chip which is located inside the gray bottom of the 5 in 1 to cause a real mess for about 2 hours in the morning, and then 2 hours in the evening as the sun sets.


I am going to go with you on this one, i made a made shield, i bought white duct, it wasnt quite white but certainly white enough
yet, in the sun i was getting +2C, lots of experimenting later i found it to be the colour of the duct, i gloss white the duct and it
straight away brought it down to +1C , as you can see from the pre painted item that it was in fact white and prob about 50% glossy.
Certainly more glossy that a standard temp/hum shield for the wmr968
