10th question

[FH212]

Hello, been awhile since I have been on here since I sold my 2000 Firehawk, but I just picked up 10th #30 and it landed at my home yesterday. So my quest to make it perfect start now.....My question is I I thought the tail pipes on these cars were painted gold. Is that correct? The ones on it now just look cast aluminum and soot black?

Just the lip area around the tips were originally gold.



Must be this car, huh?

Yes sir that is the one! Thank you. Ok so only the lip was done......guess I will try to get some paint to match it.

VHT Flameproof Flat Gold SP-105.
Not made anymore, so if you can find it, buy a couple for future use.
I've used it, ..., it is a good match.

Their SP-736 caliper paint might be the closest thing to it these days.

I also have a 10th, convertible. I have redone my tips and simply using a gold paint seems to work nicely. My car only has 5000 miles and I have noticed the tips need touched up regularly to keep them looking good. So, I would not worry too much which gold paint that you use. Just my opinion. Good luck.....
