Exhaust paint Options

[Cal]

I recently purchased an original exhaust for my '74 2.0L that's in excellent condition. I was thinking of using the VHT SP104 high heat flat grey paint to finish it off....any advise on other paints that I should consider?

I'm also going to repaint the heater control flaps, boxes and pipes in satin black.....do those need high heat paint as well?

Talked to Stoddard yesterday, they no longer have exhaust paint in the spray can. It is now only by the quart for $60. Not going to work for the average person.

Sierra Madra carries the Stoddard grey exhaust paint in a spray can. Has anyone used this before?

Jeff,

Double check back with Stoddard to verify that this at SMC is the same paint as their quarts, & that they're both the same color as the former Wurth Exhaust Grey Paint.

If it is, then it will be a good match to the 1950's - 70's Porsche exhaust grey color, but may show up a bit lighter than the paint currently on your muffler. I'm not sure it it was a tad darker grey originally, or if it's darkened with age & oxidation.

I've judged several 356s & 911/912s with their exhausts done in the Wurth/Stoddard Porsche Exhaust Grey, & they look really good.

I'd suggest that you can paint both your muffler, & your SS HEs that you had an earlier topic about (if you're still planning to do so), at the same time with this exhaust paint, so that everything is in the same grey & same age for oxidation/color fade/change over time. So try to buy all of your paint at the same time from the same case(s)/batch, so that they're all in the same color mix batch - rather getting some now & more later. Also get a can or two extra at the same time/batch in case you need to do any future touch-ups.

Thanx for doig the research on the current supplier on this.
