I couldn't find the Stoddard paint available anywhere. I think it was discontinued. I did find Wurth Zinc Weld Thru primer. I sprayed some out and it is very close color match to our 356 muffler. Their spec sheet says: - Heat resistant up to 914ºF I am currently stuck on how to get them apart for painting without destroying them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

[Just paint them assembled. I dig out the old seals and blast the inside. I have powder coayed sexeral pairs but it may be overkill.

I don’t take them apart. Just blast and powder coat.

As has been mentioned there is no rubber in them & while their purpose is to route heated air to the cabin, they dont get that hot. I only powder coat the ones that are in new/great shape with the fiber seal still intact, otherwise ..paint. Oh & I did try to dissasemble one to see if it was possible to renew seals....once.

When you say "paint", I assume you mean rattle can spray. Did you use special nozzle for that? I am having a hard time seeing how to get paint to the inside flange of the cap for example. The angle just isn't there for a regular rattle can. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) I guess there's always spray the bejesus out of it and let it run. I guess with powder coat, you'd get the benefit of the electronic charge that would draw some paint to unseen areas? |

Someone asked if anyone has straightened the four tabs that hold the mushroom shaped air diffuser on. I did and the tabs are pretty strong. They straightened right out with no problems. I slipped a hose over them to do the factory “fix” for vapor lock on my 1970 model 914.
