John As I recall from all new cars up to 1972 and later years that I have seen subsequently, the exhaust manifold was painted in a heat resistant silver. For HR paint at the time, it was quite good and didn't burn off very fast. As I'm in the UK, I don't know the colour names and ranges in the States. However, if a US enthusiast can give you that detail and then maybe you could get yours ceramic coated in the same or very close to? Cheers, Jonmac
