Default Engine Detail/Paint

Well not so much on the detail, but I did get around to paint the inside the hood.

Here are the before and after pics. I am not done with the heat shield and the driver side motor mount. Where can I get a good fire retardant topper on the inside of my hood? What is a good price if I do find one?

Oh, I am not done, ran out of time. Will finish the drivers side mount and some day, I will finish, err, I mean the wife will paint the raised lettering on the shield. I painted the aluminum mount that mount directly on the engine. I just have one question, the color on the raised lettering. I am going with either black or silver/chrome.

If I have a layer of the heat paint on, can I just use a regular paint on the lettering.

Any pick on the color?
