Hello,
The heat exchangers on my 2.0/4 are original and seem to be solid. Engine is out of the car and I'm finding all kind of projects as a result. I was thinking of removing the exchangers, having them gently media blasted and then paint with some kind of heat resistant paint. Anyone done this? What paint did you use and what is the correct color? Thanks in advance, Jack |

Tom,
Stoddards has their brand paint made up. Not Wurth but color correct. |

I checked out the Stoddard paint. I think I'll buy some heat paint at my flaps in a close shade of gray. The exchangers each have dents so concours is out of the question and I'm really just interested in preserving them, at least for now. I don't want to get too upside down in this car...may be too late for that. Funny thing is that I was just going to leave them as-is until my wife asked me what I was going to do about them. She's was right. All these pretty powder coated tins and those ugly heat exchangers? They'll look good in gray...even with a couple dents. Thanks, Jack |
