Ansa exhaust paint
Anyone have a suggestion on what paint I should use to paint to match the orange paint inside the exhaust tips?
Thanks again.

ORANGE EXHAUST TIPS
For those who have a need to paint their exhaust tips orange, there is an excellent product called Anafranil.

Re: Ansa exhaust paint
In light of the last two comments about painting exhaust tips and OCD treatment, I'm not sure why I would be foolish enough to restart this thread, but here goes...
Based on reading a number of threads here and on FChat, I went to my local Pep Boys and bought Duplicolor Hi-Temp Chevy Orange 1620 and painted the exhaust tips of my 365 GT 2+2. When my 4 year old, wearing his neon-orange soccer jersey, walked into the garage, surveyed my work and remarked "that's the same color as my shirt!", I realized that not all Chevy Orange is the same.
So if anybody else knows what might be the correct "Chevy Orange" (Plasti-Kote, Krylon, ???) for Ansa exhausts and Koni shocks (I understand it's the same color), I'd appreciate it!

Tom, if you made it 1000 miles before the exhaust had soot covering the tips, your carburetors are too lean! styang wrote:Hi William,
Just so you know, my painted orange tips lasted about 1000 miles before they were lost under the soot of the exhaust!

Re: Ansa exhaust paint
I used "Dupli-Color Ceramic Engine Enamel" in "Chrysler Hemi Orange (DE1652)). The Chrysler color is a bit duller than what I see in your picture and seems to be a pretty close match to the original. There are some NOS Ansas on eBay -- they don't look like the same model that Ferrari used, but presumably the orange color is correct since they are NOS (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Maserati-Ferrar ... 1132057202). I think the Chrysler paint is pretty close.
That said, I drive my car pretty regularly, so the exhausts are now black. They will clean up back to orange without much work, but I don't really bother to do that.

Thank you for that tip, Peter - I'll give that a shot.

On my C/4, the orange disappeared in about 500 km......... and it was jetted perfectly. OK so a 250 isn't a C/4, but you get the point.

Re: Ansa exhaust paint
Why would you want to paint them orange? If you are trying to be somewhat original for a GTE using Ansa exhaust pipes paint them black, remove the red tape and Ansa logos and add the abarth decals. I believe abarth exhaust insides were black.
