MeatMan Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 It looks like titanium but I've bought a couple of different brands that don't come close. I know that phones & computer monitors display colors differently but I'd like to come close. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I have used a Tamiya brush paint XF-56 Metallic Grey on headers and have been pleased with the look. Another color, lighter shade, would be X-32 Titanium Silver. While not real glossy you may want to dust it with a flat or semi-gloss spray to knock down the shine a little to get the desired finish.

SSNJim Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Tamiya has a Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold in both bottles and cans. You might want to try Titanium Silver over a base of Aluminum. I've never been happy with Titanium Silver without a base coat. It may take a couple of tries with different metallic base coats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gman Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Alclad II has a few colours that may be close. https://alclad2.com/finishes/regular/ You might get pretty close mixing these two, or overcoating one with the other: https://alclad2.com/finishes/regular/alc-113-jet-exhaust/ https://alclad2.com/finishes/regular/alc-123-exhaust-manifold/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Alclad "Pale Burnt Metal" looks like it would be a pretty close match. It's the same color that I use on most of my carburetors. If you need an exact match, you can certainly mix a variety of Alclad colors to come up with your own creation. Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCostello Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I like Krylon Short Cuts antique bronze. It's cheap, and looks pretty close to that color with a satin clear coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
