    Thanks for the referrals

    After a few calls, it seems standard powder coat is good only to 400 deg F, else I’d need to do a Hi Temp powder coat process to 1200F, which not all shops do.

    Searching past forum posts, I’ve yet to find a consensus on how hot the engine temps are at the Challenge Grill. I did find suggestions ‘most any paint would do, powder coat is preferred.’

    My existing grill defiantly shows signs of heat spots that appear as blotchy, silvery spots.

    Try asking Dale at GP Autoworks, he was at SD Ferrari for a decades. He may know the fix for your ferrari and where to go.
    None of these bodyshops would know more than Dale himself.
