All: Finishing up the LE engine bay and I’d like to refinish the intakes in a color close to original. I don’t have spraying equipment so it needs to be rattle can. I checked the local Auto parts stores VHT selections and nothing comes close Jeff B had a rec back in 2006 but I’m not sure that company sells in small cans.
Suggestions? |

The HEs, most of the heat ducting and intake manifolds (all the same coating) are high heat conditions, the coating must resist high temps and its a matte gloss finish:
