I have wondered about this too. I'm starting on a dash cover as a mod for cooling. I need an insulator to cool the vent-ducting just under the dash. I have an old wind screen heat shield I thought I could cut and tailor--maybe. But if I cover it with a dark color I will recreate some of the heat gain inside the cabin. I certainly can't use white or silver (!), but anything is better than my stock black! Any suggestions?
@Sentra-SE-R: I am sure you are correct that cars heat up in the sun, but car-off and car running with fan running after running the A/C are really different scenarios. The A/C unit will still be cooling recirculating air for a while. BTW, my tint keeps my car far cooler than you would expect: metalized, heat rejecting, and DARK, I don't get into a cool car, but it's a lot cooler. I'm working on the roof liners after the dash. I'm gonna be cool without A/C one day.
