(1,133 posts)the special black paint that retains the heat at night and makes it just as sizzley at 3:00 a.m. as it is at 3:00 p.m.
I probably shouldn't give the formula away, but all you have to do is mix snake oil with plain ol' ordinary black paint.

(17,147 posts)The contrast between the two sides of the fence is striking and well worth pointing out, but the post title is wrong and actually contradicts the source in the body of your post.
Your title says that the murals are a response to Noem's black paint, but, as the tweet in the body of your post points out, the mural painting is years old.
Here's a 2018 article on the murals, with the same mural photo as used in the OP tweet:
