I remember somebody on this site posting pictures of heat shields that they had done with some type of spray for ovens?. Is able to take the temperature, and looked great beacuse it was flat back. Said it worked great and was a cheap do it yourself. Might of been in the sportster's section if I am not mistaken...........

Like that the air layer in between will keep it from melting but that I should still tape off the blued parts of my pipes... Though that would make the shield touch the heat tape...
