    I was in the engine bay poking around and noticed that the two part heat shield in the 348 was looking really pretty tired and scuffed. I took it out (7 nuts) to clean it which wasn't that successful, so just degreased it with a cleaner and bought a can of Rustoleum high heat silver paint and shot it with two coats. It looks great like new, ran the car to heat it all up, no smells, and it cost about $4 and less than an hour.

    That silver hi heat paint works well on those fiberglass heat sheilds :)!! Just make sure you prep the surface properly and it will look good for a long time!
