Ok, here we go again. I already posted the story about the cost of the paint and shipping. So paint came in this afternoon. Had parts prepped for paint, did a spray out of two coats. Paint is NOT the correct color. I have several NOS exhaust pieces and they are all the same color as heater duct piece shown.
Piece 1 is with stock gray VHT 900* from Home Depot Piece 2 is two coats of Stoddard Exhaust paint Piece 3 is NOS stock color Side side comparison. I think the local paint store might be able tomix up you something better Attached image(s) |

Mark...I think really this paint was developed for the 911 and 356 mufflers. It matches that pretty well.
We use to use RUST-OLEUM 7785-830 COLD GALVANIZING COMPOUND SPRAY before the Stoddard stuff was available to get a similar color...sprayed it and then take torch and "cook" it in. As Jeff said the Stoddards does darken a little after heat curing. |
