I see many great looking engines in the engine bay thread. What is the grayish finish on the intake runners? Is that powercoated or painted? What is the color and where can I get it?
Thanks, Kev |

cold galvanizing compound might be a really close match.

Rustoleum had a grey in thier " professional" line that is very close. If you want them powder coated try a powder called elctrical gray. It is used on alot of commercial electrical boxes.It also is pretty close.

This one of the VERY few applicatons where I consider P-coating acceptable, though I wouldn't do it. P-coating is not really resiliant, so I would never use it underneath. In this application, since it isn't subjected to the outward elements, it could work. Still, I being a semi-purist, would go with conventional paint.
This thread came up some months ago, and a VW source was found that looked dead-on. I'd suggest a search on all forum for that. Pat |

Pat why do you say powder coat isn't resilient? It is quite resilient. WhenI was doing it for a living we did on a daily basis, horse stalls, stair railings, outdoor furniture, car frames, car and 4x4 wheels, suspension. Powder is absloutely the way to go for underside parts. I know you don't want anything non Porscher on your car but how about those tires....or that RE-paint..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) or the gas.....or the wiper blades..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)
