Why Chris?
1 - The firewall is already metal.
2 - You are not going to get any better fire protection than the metal.
3 - The problem is not fire proofing - It is ADHERENCE to the metal.
4 - You would have to do experiments to prove out the temperature range of
the paint and the operation conditions.
5 - Since there is an expansion to this paint - Would the expansion cause a
loss of bonding?
6 - What happens to the paint AFTER it expands? Does it return 100% back
to its original size and bond strength? Which reflects back to Item #3.
Too many variables. The K.I.S.S. M.E. part of this build has already
passed. What has to be addressed now is Adherence - Corrosion Protection
and Looks.

Doug,
I myself would choose not to paint the firewall
at all. The environment is quite protected from anything corrosive, unless
you firewall mount the battery, which would require special consideration. I
expect the galvanizing will look decent for a long time as is, certainly
much better than curls of peeling paint, which I consider very possible if
not likely.

I didn't paint the firewall, just the aluminum pieces that attach to it. The side
facing into the cockpit is covered with an aluminized firewall blanket.

Hey, Barry---I have long understood the meaning of k.I.S.S.
(understood, but generally not followed,) but what does the addition of
M.E. stand for?
Chris--- Don't bother to paint the firewall; it's not worth the
effort.

What paint, surface prep, etc? Let me know. I'm at that point in my
