What was the original coating for the muffler heat shield (aka heat protection plate)? Whatever ours was, it is grease, rust, or overspray now.

The early style heat shields are cylindrical in shape and are held in with screws as you mentioned. On multiple 914-6s I've owned they all had a light overspray of body schutz and body color.
I'm restoring one to look original but more robust. Hi-temp epoxy primered first then a light coat of Wurth texture. It will be lightly painted body color before being attached to the car. The screws were covered inside the trunk with seam sealer so it must be in place before final paint. TMI but I sense you are restoring your 6 correctly which is great.  |
