I have put about 1200 miles on my 40 since getting it back from paint and reassembly, (April - November). Light driving around town and from the sniper screen I've seen the water temp get as high as 202 degrees for a few minutes. It normally runs in the 180-190 range. Original 2F engine. About 2 months ago I noticed a spot on the hood where the paint had risen up and it continued to get worse. About a month ago I pushed on one of the bigger spots and it cracked. I Reached out to my paint guy and took him the hood this morning and he said it had to be heat from the engine that was causing this and that is not his fault. He wants to charge me upwards of $1500 to repaint it and add high temp primer to see if that helps and said I should look in to heat barrier on the underside of the hood . Curious if anyone else has had this happen and if that sounds correct? Aside from repainting it is there anything else I should be looking in to? TIA
