I own a 95 black (pearl) Del Sol. Over time, the combination of engine
heat and (probably) heat from the sun in the summer combined to sort of
'burn' a light-ish section of the hood exterior. (the area was in a bit
of a circle and looked like a dirty silver)

I have recently had most of the car (including the hood) repainted and
I'd like to avoid that happening again in a few years.

Has anyone ever heard of, or done, something like putting some of the
sort of insulation used under car hoods inside a Del Sol or Civic?
The only down side I could think of would be the possibility of trapping
engine heat in such a way that the engine would be hurt. That would not
be a good trade off.
