aluminum metal cases are good for cooling coz it's a good conductor
Yes it is but often thats not a big factor in cooling as not many devices are direcly in contact with the case.

according to the product link. I am assuming that painting steel doesnt change its ability to remove heat as much as painted aluminum. What if I paint my steel case with light colors, and use plenty of fans? Will this be ok, or should I not even bother?
Aluminum casing wont make an earth shattering change in cooling capability and as such paint wont make an eatyj shattering difference (its worth looking into if you've got the time/money tho)
