The effect cannot be zero . . . but it's
beyond my current understanding to assess
its significance. Plan B is an empirical
test. Got all the stuff laying around here
to do it . . . just no time at the moment
and besides, my 'antenna range' temperatures
are in the high 90's right now.
I need to identify all the 'suspect' paints
and get samples. Will test some 'aluminum'
off-the-shelf paints too.

Not true. My 87GMC alternator wire goes
directly to battery(+) but it's only about
18" long and hangs out in the air.
The 98SAT battery(+) does have a fusible link at the
starter solenoid.
The 06KIA has an MANL style fuse right at
the battery(+) terminal.
In both cases, b-lead protection is at the
BATTERY end of the b-lead.
