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

Thanks for the heads up
I wonder how exact Porsche's color spec was on the paint. And if your NOS part darkened with age. Why not paint the parts with the paint you got and they all match. No one but you will know.
That coating darkens over time. I’d go with the Stoddard.
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.
All three are grey, good enough for me...lol
Yes, I am going to over look it the difference and move on. It is just I expected the paint to be a lot closer.
some info ..

OK, looks like it is going to need some heat.
