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?

For those looking for a PC or Ceramic option close to OEM gray -

There are both a Ceramic & a Hi-Temp PC Gray which is very close to the original Porsche "Exhaust Gray" paint shade, but you have to really go thru the color chips books to find the right one, & then compare it with the actual paint on an NOS exhaust part or the OEM paint in the sunlight for a proper match.

While it looks like a beautiful PC job on your -6 Banana - that's way too much "butt-bling" on a 914 for me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
.... ergo I'm considering painting or Ceramic or HT PC coating gray on my SSI SS HEs, to match the Leistritz Sport Banana 2L muffler for my 73 2L.
