<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">I would think a reflective paint would work better than a black paint. Additionally, the VHT paint should be used underneath the side sill insulation, not over it.

Lastly, I've always been told not to wrap the cats. Could overheat them and perhaps cause a fire.

I'd measure the actual sill temps and compare to a stock Viper to see if you're making progress. Then find out at what temp the exterior side sill paint becomes damaged. If you have a decent variance, no worries.</FONT f>
