Last year I needed to do a lot of things under the hood. One of the things I did was replace the manifold gasket. I sandblasted the intake and exaust. Then I coated it with a rattle can of S.S. wood stove/ BBQ paint. Looks very close to the right color. I have about 500 miles on it, and it looks fresh and clean. It is somethig to consider, Jimmie.
