    Mine are black to match my truck. Never had an issue with heat. Takes me about 20 minutes to tarp and untarp so i have had no heat issues. I only tarp about 10 loads a year though.

    parking your trailer on top of your tarps is an old flatbedder trick to make sure they'll be there when out get back from your time off.
