914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 2 Liter intake runner paint color

Posted by: RangerDick Sep 19 2021, 07:37 PM

Planning on pulling the engine to refresh the tins, hoses and gaskets. I noticed the intake runners are pretty trashed. Anyone know the gray color that is used to paint them?

Thanks in advance

Can't go wrong with putty-grey...about the same color as most of the new 911s rolling off the showrooms

Same color as the headlight carrier metal. Got you covered -

Here’s a good match if you need high temp:

Covers extremely well.

I've been restoring VW intakes for years and found the closest and most reasonable priced paint is Duplicolor's New Ford Grey engine enamel with ceramic, its a little glossier than the original satin, but dulls a little once its been on the engine. Perfect color match and Autozone carries it.

Paint them red. Everyone knows that red is the fastest color.
