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? Attached thumbnail(s) |

Big fan of cerakote but I can tell you my favorite paint for exhaust that matches OEM is rustoleum 2000 degree primer.

Using the same VHT product ,well pleased with it and no burn or corrosion on the hot spots, used this paint on a preheated clean muffler but IMO prep is key to getting it to last .
Cleaned all the old coating off and wire buffed till the whole thing was shiny then used emery tape to help key the paint on the surface,warm day but nuked it with my heatgun,did this on every coat ..looks great and lasting well cheers. |
