Re: [T3] Muffler paint

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

The original VW paint used on mufflers, damper pipes, heat exchangers etc
is much like the Eastwood zinc-rich paint.  It's the stuff used on the FI
headers too.  Some restorations I've seen have wrongly been painted with a
gloss version of the colour.
It's good inside body panels to hold back rust and works pretty well - I've
tried leaving a rusty piece outside, and painted half st$»knto the
rust.  It stayed painted for months in damp British weather.  It's not
meant as a primer to over-paint though, and will burn off a muffler over a
period of time (as the original does, too).
