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?

You might try West Coast Powder at 925 682-4828. I spoke with Kelly.

They have a light gray and a white that interested me, but while the light gray is close it has some sheen to it. If you want true factory looks that will last, I was told one way to get there is to ceramic coat it, then etch the coating, then apply another coat (primer) in a ceramic setup, and then finally hit it with light gray VHT.

I have tried the VHT route and it peeled quickly. It's a non-starter for me.

Jet Hot Coatings offers a nice light gray as well. It has a very small amount of sheen to it, as well, but I may go that way.

Let us know how it goes if you beat me to it, will you?
