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 |

Jack,
Just tell them that they're OE dents! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Make sure to use some rust converter after the media blasting, then I'd recco the Rustoleum High Temp Auto gray paint, since ti has some rust preventative properties - from what you've said are your goals. IIRC the FLAPS spray high temp paints don't have any rust preventative additives. I got the Rustoleum HT grey to refinish my 88 Westy's muffler & exhaust pipes (waterboxer, so not HEs), but I have SS HEs for the 914 resto. Good Luck!
