Default Exhaust Paint

The exhaust were suppose to have been painted orange with the engine, which of course burned right off and then they started to rust.

On my 78 I used Eastwoods Factory Gray Hot Coat and they look great, even after 4 years. But, if I were to get teh car judged, I would get whacked, but how much? Is it a full 20pt Reduction?

I would not worry about it. The most I have seen deducted for painted manifolds is 2 points per or 4 total. If they look good and don't rust why worry over that small a deduct.
