Amen, though there are places where "a little" just is not the quota this time of year.

Totally true! But maybe not just white. There is all kinds of new crazy paint out there: Planet Supra Nano Heat Reflective Paint products, buy Planet Supra Nano Heat Reflective Paint products from alibaba.com

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
