All you need in the way of tools is a ruler, a pencil, a utility knife, a straight edge and a roll of tape

The tape part is what is discouraging me from building my own. I want it to look slick, something like Lothar5150's. found that dtek sells their own shroud but $20 is a bit high isn't it? and we still need to polish it ourself.

You may want to consider galvanized roof flashing and soldering it to the heatercore then painting it, making one would be just as easy.

what kind of paint would we use?

the only tool i have is a soldering iron.

Hey Gent's you will probably see this shroud for sale in the online stores very soon, hint hint. You will also see one for the BIX as well.

A spray paint in small can form designed for metal such as rustoleum. I'm not sure if a small soldering iron would work, it depends on how much patience you have

I doubt that the iron would work, but you can always seal the shroud to the core with silicone. All you have to do is build a shroud with a slight overhang, to give room for the silicone.
