Is the Dansk OEM muffler a flat gray or a satin gray? Does anyone have a good paint match? Pictures make it look almost like a primer. Thanks...

The NOS muffler that I have for my '74 1.8 is not painted. It's also not installed on the car, when I install it, should I paint it?

I find this interesting. My most recent muffler is a Dansk, but from 1990. It is painted (I'll send pics tomorrow), but by Dansk. Have things changed that much that Dansk no longer protect the mufflers with paint? Wow!

Jon, if yours is bare metal - don't wait to paint it until after it's installed!

Use very fine steel wool, wipe it down, prep-solve it, & put a high temp primer on it immediately. I'll leave it too the current gurus of high temp finish paints to provide the info for a final coat(s). But, it should be light gray.
