Adding to Jim's post, painting black will make a difference, but by how much, and is it worth it. I would say that if you want to, go ahead. Use engine heat paint, or oven paint. Now, for the windscreen, you want that shiny. It will help reflect heat back to the pot. You don't want it absorbing any heat.
