Golf Cart Color (re: sun)
When I recently bought a new car, the dealer told me to NOT buy a dark-colored car if I was going to take that to Florida. Absorbs too much heat vs. a light-colored car that has the ability to reflect the sun.
That said, was wondering if the same scenario plays out for a golf cart. My hunch is NOT, since the sides of the golf cart are open and ventilation is present (except when you've got the sunbrella down). But I don't want to just go on my hunch. Would appreciate others' comments on golf cart colors (dark vs. light) with regard to my question. I recently saw a photo of a black golf cart on TOTV, and I think it is gorgeous. I told Kathy that's the one! But I don't want us to fry in the process <g>. ??? Gene |
Nope...like you said, it really doesn't matter in a golf cart. I would pay more attention to seat covers, but even that doesn't make much of a difference.

I have a dark blue cart and I have had no issues with the heat....Color doesn't fade , and while setting in it waiting for the misses I have never noticed any heat build up inside.....I don't think color vs heat is an issue...

Mornings are usually sunny. Afternoon clouds and rain appear almost on a daily basis (since May).
As far as the interior seats there is a "marine vinyl" which is pretty durable. I have the sunbrella insert which keeps the seat from getting too hot and sticky. |
As far as heat , even your driver and fairway woods get "hot to the touch" from sun exposure.
Oh course the way I'm hitting my /driver it should be red hot! |
Black will adsorb the most heat, hands down, but as already said it outside in the air, you're not touching it I see no issues.
The important thing is seat color, I would say that needs to be light colored or you may not be able to sit on it. I have a convertible, dark British green, it gets hot on the metal, but the seats are tan and all is good. A black pearl mica paint will be dazzling in the sun |
I had never owned a white colored vehicle until I moved here and it was ito shade you Indeed a wise decision. As for golf carts given a roof that shades you and the seats and air flow coming in all around you it doesn't matter in my opinion if it is black white red or blue

I got a custom bright yellow cart so when I go over that morse Street bridge many times a day from our house, particularly at night, I will be seen on that narrow pathway and I also got night lights on the sides.

LIghter colors don't show the dirt as much. And the carts do get dirty fast.
|
don't forget that red is a :police: magnet

We have a black cart with black & tan sunbrella...hot sun is not a problem at all.

As I said before, I think the black golf cart with black/tan sunbrella shown on TOTV looked great! Maybe you have a twin in TV <g>. Gene, (Kathy and I are counting the months to Ahhhh-TV) |
The light colors are the fastest, more quiet and most reliable.
