Paint Troubles

My wife's car is a 1992 RS Convertible and she is very particular about keeping it all stock original. The problem I have currently is the rear end is starting to rust and the exhaust manifolds and motor mounts are begining to look bad. She wants them painted. Does anyone know the correct paint to get to paint these areas so it will still be considered stock. Any help will be a great help. Like I said, "She is very paticular!!"

The Eastwood Company most likely has what you need. They offer high temp paint for the exhaust manifolds and i'm sure they have paint for the rear end and motor mounts.

Yes, eastwood would be he primary source to get all of the correct paint for doing underbody painting. If you want to do it right, I would take the time to have someone bead blast them then paint them...perhaps maybe even powdercoating (for the rear end). Just a thought.

Thanks for the information. While my wife would enjoy nothing more than for me to pull the rear end and exhaust manifols to do this, I just do not have the time. Aside from work, I have enough Camaros currently to finish.
