I have a muffler which is primered like the tip. What kind of paint, high temp I suppose, and what color did the original came with ?
My second request. I have seen pics of just the square portion chromed. I like that clean look. Did they have to take it to a chrome plater or can I just use some chrome paint. Let me know if your have BTDT and chime in on how its done. Thanks All !!! Ted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)  |

I will check the PET and FLAPS for the tip. IF I decided to keep it gray, I read in the originality forums they were gray. I did not know that . Should I re-coat with Flame proof gray paint or is that gray paint from the factory good enough, dont want to wait and find out later. Sorry I did not take a pic of the muffler, but it was same color as the tip.
And the last question. Yes I understand its my car, do what whatever you want with it. What would you guys do, leave it gray or attempt to find the tip. Its kinda original 1971 1.7 with 5 -lug Fuchs. Thanks so much guys for your inputs. |
