You should use high temperature paint, like what is used on stoves

do i paint that NOS muffler or do i leave it as is?
and if yes with what type of paint?


I've used tremclad Hi temp BBQ paint on mine. it usually lasts a couple years before I repaint, not because it peels, the black just turns grey and gets scruffy looking

They were a gray/green gray color. Unfortunately, the paint VW used would burn off, and rust would take it's place. Sad

Has anybody tried the Manifold Grey from POR-15? I'm considering for the heat shield parts of the exhaust and curious if it's heat resistant enough for the whole thing.

If you are using BBQ paint follow the directions on the can & it should last a couple of seasons. I say this because the tendency is to clean & paint, the temperature has to be correct for it to work. My old boss used to use old motor oil. Get the exhaust really hot & wipe the muffler with the oil dampened rag. It smokes a bit but leaves a dark look to the muffler. His 1909 Hudson muffler looks like new all year.

Damn fine looking parts!

Where did you find rubber for the diagonal arm bushings? I could only find red urethane a few years ago.
