Is the Dansk OEM muffler a flat gray or a satin gray? Does anyone have a good paint match? Pictures make it look almost like a primer. Thanks...

I have a question about the OEM Muffler for a `73 2L that I need to clean-up & repaint -
Did it originally or ever have a chromed or polished or semi-polished or stainless steel tailpipe section? In the photo at the link below for PP's Dansk "OE style" below, it sure looks "shiny" to me!? http://www.automotion.com/product.asp?pf_i...mp;dept_id=4573 I bought the 2.0 OE style Muffler in the pic below from Midas back in 1980 with a Lifetime Replacement Guarantee. I think I recall that they sourced it from either Dansk or whomever was the Porsche OES at the time, so it was good quality. Pat - this one was also not painted at the time it was installed, but had some sort of a protective coating on it, which has obviously failed at this point. So priming & painting seems like a good idea to me! I suppose that they'd still be on the hook to get me a new Dansk whenever it should fail, but it's still solid at this point - the car having been stored in my SoCal garage since 5/85 due to the body damage above it (& a new family back then). Although it looks rusty - its just surface crud that I can steel wool off & refinish with the hi-temp primer & grey paint noted in this thread - at the time I have to pull it off to redo both sides of my rusted-out heat exchangers - but I'm unsure how to do the tailpipe section? Anyone out there know how I should finish the tailpipe on this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Also - any leads for some new OEM/OES or Stainless `73 2.0 Heat Exchangers? AA has SS at $605 per side, but that seems awfully steep to me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) |
