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.

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. https://forums.maxperformanceinc.com...d.php?t=873080

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.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
