    I found some heat shielding on Amazon that sticks like tape .I cut 3 pieces to size and so far it works pretty well.

    Welcome aboard!

    I don't know of anything specifically designed for that purpose, but I suggest using something silicone-based. Anything metal will simply conduct heat from the radiator, and potentially result in a burn.
