Underhood temps will eventually discolor common paint.

Default Car is at bodyshop for some rash off a truck tire frag-(grenade)-ment>>>
Yah- I'm getting hi-temp wherever I can, even if it isn't Lake Silver.

Body guy says he recommends an emulsion that bonds the hi-heat to the plastiquelike OEM. He'll give it to me tomorrow so I'll share after pickup.
