Trying to understand which color to paint my heat shileds (2 off). It appears that they may have been silver from the factory...a lot of black showing through. Can someone tell me if the orginal color was silver...or black!!! Cheers DY
Heat resistant silver, the underlying mat colour is dark brown,ish. Have a look on Ricambi for the exploded engineering drawing for your model and see how many sections your heat shield should have. Mine has three. http://www.ricambiamerica.com/article_info.php?articles_id=215
Klaar, I had the same problem. The silver paint was wearing off and the black was showing through. I used a 1200 degree silver spray paint available at my local parts store. Looked great.
