Hello everyone, I am thinking of painting the exhaust manifolds on the Diesel 50 with the VHT brand of paint. What do you was the original color? In old b&w printed manuals it looks like it could be silver or aluminum, so what do you guys think? Thanks.

I've been using POR15 high temperature aluminum paint on exhaust manifolds (after sand blasting). Holds up pretty good but eventually rust pops up again even if you use several coats.

I had mine Jet Hot coated, there some performance shops that can powder coat them too.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
