Hood insulation ?

[Learpilot]

Now that I have a new paint job. Should I put some kind of insulation on the under side of the hood to protect the paint ? If so ,what do you guys use ?
The paint is from PPG.

Thanks in advance for all your great knowledge !

If you are concerned about heat, don't be. The heat from the engine bay is not going to damage the paint.

Unless the exhaust is really close to the hood, 1/4" or less, heat is not usually a problem

If you don't use insulation some heat will dissapate thru the hood and the engine compartment will be a little cooler....not much but every little bit helps sometimes.
