Exhaust shield

I am concerned about heat from the exhaust discoloring or bubbling the paint so I decided to build shields. I started by cutting a template out of construction paper

Then transfered the shape to stainless steel. I am using stainless because it gets a cool pattern when it gets really hot

I cut out the pattern with the plasma cutter

Then gave it a quick sanding with 320 grit paper

I'm not sure the stainless will ever get hot enough to discolor but I like the look so I helped it along a little

Then riveted it on

Looks cool, right?
