Some say yes it's fine and others say no it needs to be ceramic. But if your bike is running stock fuel management system your bike will probably be running to hot. If you have a power commander or another system your bike should run cooler and be ok. My mufflers are barely showin any sign of heat. I took my heat shield off and my headers are bluing bad. Only 140 miles on it. But it is the pro street breakout with 110 engine, mufflers , and air filter cone. I'm sure the system is programmed for the original 103 stock breakout so it's running really hot. I have a fuel pack on its way hoping that will solve my issue.

You could get by with powder on the shields. Even though they do get hot, I doubt that they would exceed the upper limits of the powder coating. Granted the following link is to a business, but they explain the differences nicely...

I've had many parts over the years done both ways. The key is a properly prepped part so the coating can properly adhere to the surface.

But, if your powdered coating was burnt off, then it will happen again.

It didn't get to the stage of burnt off. It started to get this orange peel look just at the begining of the muffler where the headers and muffler clamp together. I wet sanded that and polished to make it look a lot better. I purchased a fuel pak in hopes that it will run cooler now and prevent that from happening again. It is running really lean right now due to having stock programming with having all the cvo upgrades plus Rinehart mufflers.
