    Source for correct factory gray muffler paint in EU

    I´m looking for a source for High-Temp Exhaust Paint in the correct Factory Gray located in Europe or any who will ship to Europe.

    Wurth no longer sells gray muffler paint. And the gray paint from VHT is not a close match to the original factory gray.

    Stoddard and Sierra Madre sells gray paint, probably close to the original Factory gray, but refuses to ship to Europe. It does not matter to them that it can be sent by boat and not by air. Many thanks for that

    Any help is appriciated

    Best Nick

    I was really disappointed with the Stoddard exhaust paint. Tried it a couple of times and while the color was a good match to original, the paint turned purple/pink at hot spots. Really unsightly and much worse than looking at the VHT gray which is too light but doesn’t turn pink. Unless they’ve changed the formula recently and it can be verified it no longer changes color, avoid the Stoddard stuff. I have a couple of cans left which I refuse to use.

    Cliff,

    Thats the paint I’m looking for. Stoddard also sells that paint in aerosol cans. https://www.stoddard.com/nla09500600.html
    Looking for either Aerosol Cans or Quarts. Its a Silicone Copolymer.

    356rider,

    I’ve been told that they have solved that problem.

    Also see the info from the manufacturer regarding that problem:

    That would be great if the problem is solved, however it was an issue for several years and it would be good to hear from someone with first hand experience with the new formulation.

    I'm willing to give it a try But my problem is to get that opportunity.

    But there must be someone on the forum who have dared to test the new paint?

    I’ve always used the VHT SP104, super durable, light gray.
