Looking to refinish my intake runners. What is closest matte/low gloss finish you guys have found? Does it need to be a high temp paint? Is it the same as the muffler paint? Danka

Sorry I don't recall which specific grey it was. I just saw it at Lowe's and tried it.
As for Imron, it is very dangerous stuff, and while it is a great paint I would advise against using it, just due to the hazards. I shot one car with it and will not use it again. It gave me a pounding headache and put me to sleep for about 2 hours. Later I worked at a shop and was talking to the owner about it and he told me he actually passed out after walking out of the booth. His brother found him and got him to the E-room. Luckily it is only about 3 blocks from the shop. NASTY stuff. Also had an old timer tell me he had the stuff show up on an X-ray coating the inside of his lungs. He shot ALOT of it in the 70's. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Hmmmm.....bet his lungs never rusted!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I think the newer IMRON II is probably less caustic with the lower VOCs to meet the new Euro stds., but then it's not made for engine parts & hi-temp anyway, I wouldn't think IMHO!? |
