Hey, I am experimenting with foil tape, weed barrier, and plastidip for this exact purpose right now. Over several posts in my build thread you can see my idea and progress. Build thread is in my signature below. I would love feedback/questions. Don't think I should just duplicate and repost here, so here is just one photo.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
