Andrew, for heat shielding I would recommend a layer “fiberfrax” … http://www.fiberfrax.com/ against the fiberglass cowling, covered with a layer of aluminum closest to heat source.

I doubt foil will solve your blistering paint problem. That exhaust is hot! I have a muffler that is over 15MM from the cowl and with foil on the cowl the paint still blisters.

Andrew,

I doubt foil will solve your blistering paint problem. That exhaust is hot! I have a muffler that is over 15MM from the cowl and with foil on the cowl the paint still blisters.
