The coating just reduces the heat. It doesn't eliminate it or reduce it enough.

It isn't just the paint you need to worry about melting off. The deck lid will warp with the heat if you don't shield it and you won't be able to fix that.

Fiberglass won't be a better choice either. It will warp worse than the steel.

Put a piece of stainless 20 gauge on the spider. It will act as a "sacrificial anode".
It will be easier than aluminum sheet to keep clean. Just wipe it down with Windex. Same with the powder coated headers.

Incidentally, the flat black, grey and titanium powder coats will water spot. The "chrome" powder coat doesn't and when they are done, will look like mill polished stainless.
