My thoughts are when there is forced convection, the effects of radiation is negligible. Therefore the paint will just hinder the performance by acting as insulation reducing the amount of heat that can be carried away at the surface/fins. When there is no air flow, radiation plays a bigger role and therefore the advantages of black paint will kick in as mentioned above.
