Reflect 90% of Radiant Heat for Superior Thermal Protection
The automotive peel and stick heat shield is designed to provide effective thermal protection in high-heat automotive and off-road environments. Sticky Shield reflects over 90% of radiant heat, helping reduce heat transfer into vehicle interiors and sensitive components. It performs best when installed with at least one inch of clearance from the heat source, allowing radiant heat to dissipate before reaching protected surfaces. Sticky Shield is commonly used to protect transmission tunnels, firewalls, and floor pans from heat generated by headers, exhaust systems, and drivetrain components. It is a proven solution for performance vehicles such as Mustangs, Camaros, and Challengers, while also working well in Jeeps, trucks, race cars, and custom builds. By limiting radiant heat intrusion, this automotive peel and stick heat shield helps improve cabin comfort and reduce heat-related wear.
High-Performance Peel-and-Stick Heat Shield Construction
Sticky Shield features a durable 1/8-inch Kool Core™ insulation layer paired with a 3 mil-thick aluminum outer face. This layered construction delivers excellent heat reflection while maintaining strength and long-term durability. The aluminum surface resists moisture and debris, making it suitable for harsh under-vehicle and engine bay environments. The adhesive backing allows for fast, secure installation on most clean, smooth surfaces. For best results, avoid applying the shield to unfinished fiberglass or raw carbon fiber. Once installed, the material stays firmly in place and is easy to clean after exposure to dirt, oil, and road grime.
Versatile Heat Protection for Exhaust and Drivetrain Components
nd=”2635″>This automotive peel and stick heat shield is ideal for use near mufflers, catalytic converters, diesel particulate filters, turbochargers, exhaust downpipes, and other high-temperature components. By reducing radiant heat, Sticky Shield helps protect surrounding materials and improves overall thermal management. Each Sticky Shield kit includes Cool Foil Tape, which seals seams and edges for added durability and protection against moisture and contaminants. The result is a clean, professional installation that holds up to street driving, off-road use, and demanding performance applications. Whether used for interior heat control or under-vehicle protection, Sticky Shield delivers reliable heat reflection and long-lasting performance.
FAQ
What is the trick to getting the paper off the back of the shield?
The paper on the back of the shield can prove tricky to release from the adhesive. We recommend you check out our video call Sticky Shield Review for some helpful Pro-Tips.
Can I paint my Sticky Shield
Painting Sticky Shield is not recommended, as it reduces its ability to block blistering heat effectively. To maximize heat reflection and thermal insulation, the high-performance aluminum surface should remain unpainted for optimal automotive heat shielding and radiant heat protection.
Do I need tin snips to cut Sticky Shield?
No, Sticky Shield is cut easily with a pair of heavy-duty scissors or utility knife. Tin snips will struggle with cutting the insulation on this heat shield, we suggest avoiding them altogether. For the best results use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge.
Why don’t you recommend Sticky Shield for rough unfinished fiberglass or carbon?
Self-adhesives are not capable of filling in the small gaps, valleys and indentations of rough unfinished fiberglass and carbon with fibers raised out of the surface are not good for the adhesive to bond to. This significantly reduces the performance of the adhesive backing. Spray adhesives are more capable of filling in these surface imperfections.
Can I screw Sticky Shield into place?
Yes you can, if you want to add a screw or rivet in addition to the adhesive backing it is okay to do so. We just recommend using a large head rivet or fender washer to prevent damage to the aluminum when it is torqued down.
