I'm partial to magneetic red. I've been asked several times if it was a custom repaint or a stock color? Click on "My Corvette Photos".

Are the insides of your exhaust pipes color matched?

Didn't intend to color-match. It's Chevy orange engine block paint. When I was a teenager in the 70's, we all had "Ansa" exhaust (standard on Ferraris), which were black crinkle-finish on the outside with chrome tips and orange inside. I like the look, and it looks good on any color car, not just red. After a while, it gets dirty, but a quick wipe with some mineral spirits brings it right back.
