Couple questions, what's the finish on the engine bar? Painted or bare metal? Next would be the color of the blower hoses from the exchangers to the ducts; orange or black? What is the closest high temp paint you found to match the factory color of the exhaust system; muffler & exchangers? The branch pieces; I seen grey and black. What year did they change; mid 73?
Just as a side note, I found a Powder company that will make an exact match of the factory tin color. $100 to develope, $15-$25 per pound with an intial minimum of 5 lbs. If there is enough intested to cover the development cost of the color match, I'd be happy to send in the tin for matching. Say 4 or 5 people to keep the cost down.

Tom & Pat, I'm about to order a can of the Dove Grey & Grey Black from Wolfsburg. I recieved some powder coat samples that are also close. The PC guy told me he can add flattner to it. I tested out quite a few different types of paint. Later this summer, I'll post all the color samples so you guys can determine which ones works for you and save you a few bucks. I seen Rustoleum has a 500 degree cold galvanize primer and a 2000 degree grey primer. I'll get those as well. One of these will choices should get close enough to the factory color. The Ford grey can be had in high temp engine enamel from quite a few different paint manufactures. It's very close to the original Boge shock color; just a tad lighter.
