Car Solar Energy

So..
Solar Car A is black, Solar Car B is white.
Because the color black absorbs sunlight, will solar car A's solar panel capture more solar energy because the solar car's body attracts more light rays
or does the color not...

are we talking about the car?
or the solar panels?
clearly, what color the car, other than the solar panels, is, does not matter.
the color of the solar panels is probably determined by what they are made of.

If the paint could collect solar energy to charge a battery, and then once the car starts moving, other fibers in the paint could convert the wind passing over the car to electrical energy, wouldn't this be a way to decrease our dependency on...

No. Air drag is one of the chief components in auto efficiency. What you describe would increase air drag.
As far as the solar part goes most cars have about 12 square feet of surface in the sun when the car is in the sun. 12 square feet...

Yes, but you only get to combine their energies when both sunlight and wind are available. If wind is calm or blowing the wrong way, the solar cells must do more work to carry the extra load of sail. If the sun ain't shining, the sails must drag...

TO fit into my shoe-string Budget, I was wondering, if I could get a solar-energy car made in MULTAN, one of the HOTTEST PLACES on EARTH.
Man-power is cheap here, but, I need to know, HOW THAT IS DONE.

You -could- build a car powered by solar energy.

Unfortunately, even if manpower is cheap, the price of the required technology doesn't yet fit into a shoe-string budget. If it did, every shadetree mechanic in the US would have built

My girlfriend and I have just bought a camper van, and we would like to hook up some roll up solar panels to a spare car battery so we can store energy in it to use with small electrical appliances.

I have no idea about how this...

I recommend that you purchase a kit designed for this purpose, unless you are very good at tinkering with electronics.

I have seen kits designed for this purpose available for sale at some camping supply stores and truck stops.

I have a car that runs on regular unleaded gas and would like to convert it to use solar E. Is there a kit available to make this possible?

You could do an electric conversion for your car. It's expensive. (link 1) You could also put a lot of solar panels on your home (if you own one) That's very expensive. (link 2)
Then use the solar panels to charge your car.
