Thanks to many of you already for the help to this point - especially KNS for the NOS cadmium hardware!
I was under the impression that the exhaust left the factory as stainless covered in Cosmoline. After a thorough scrubbing, I am seeing what looks like very durable Grey paint. Does anyone know the name, color or source for this paint?
Am I correct in thinking this was the original coating followed with cosmoline? I am guessing the muffler was just left rust as there is no indication of paint on it anywhere.
