Otto had said "Why paint it? The naked screen should be adequate to smooth the air flow, while allowing the exhaust system to vent heat. And, aluminum screen being about the world's best heat conductor, it will dissipate heat from any contact with mufflers, etc..." so I was asking if there was any literature or such for what size openings because I want to make a belly pan out of heavier screen than standard window screen. The hardware store has screen that looks like it is made of wire that is three times the thickness of window screen with slightly larger openings. As this would be stiffer, I think this would resist damage a little better, but will it work for smoothing air flow?
