Correct Air Cleaner painting
 

Hey guys,

I recently picked up a rare 67 326 HO air cleaner that needs restored. What’s the best to use on it since it is in a high heat area? Also what sheen should it be, semi gloss?

Thanks
Joe

I would say SEMI Gloss for sure.
Most OE Breathers don't seem/appear Glossy.

I use both Dupli-Color Engine Paint and/or VHT FLAMEPROOF High Temp Paints for engine bay items.

Thanks for the reply Jeff, I’ll look at the engine paints and trial spray.
Do you know if anyone is recreating the information stamped on the side?

Air cleaners are usually 90% gloss black. Rattle can gloss black will get you pretty close. VHT makes a great paint.

Here’s a good example of factory air cleaner paint.

Semigloss not at all, 90% or maybe gloss black.

These are California 326HO Air cleaners. The cleaner one is towards the glossy side.

Good Info;
 

Thanks, Guys for the clarity/correction. I've not had any OE-painted Breathers in Years.
