Ugly 2G Heat Shield

[silyrean]

Anyone Know where I can buy a new Manifold Heat Shield (Red Preferably) for a 99 GS N/T? Mine dog ugly, I painted it red and the paint turned black due to the heat i think...

Manifold heat sheids don't come in colors, however you can polish it to a "chrome" like appearance.

You're old maniflod cover turnedblack beause you used the wrong paint, standard "krylon", or spray paint will not work it burns/discolors at low temperatures.

sandblast or strip the burnt paint off, and use VHT? high temp paint, or something along the lines of barbecue paint.

Paint it using high temp engine paint...you can pick it up at any "autozone" or similar, as well as Walmart even. I just painted mine and so far it's holding up nicely.
