I refinished a couple GNX covers and up pipes.....
After a ton of answer and research I came to the conclusion that no one knows.....sorry....
But you can match it.

The up pipe and cover are aluminum coated to PER GM 6164-M (performance spec nothing more)...I will look up in my note to see if I have any additional information....

When you did those cover's , were they 13AL27.0 ?

Well if you don't know....... I guess there is no answer
I guess just make them all match

Btw I need 2 mufflers any ideas ?

X-RAY and I both gave the answer . mufflers = vendor section .

So no 442 mufflers or gnx ones?

Exactly.....you looked for me a few years ago..
The other issue is at time you could use coating materials that are no longer available.... I mixed ceramic coating to match. If you look under the coupler [ rubber] u may see the original color unfaded.

Well now share the secret
What color and where from ?

It is possible to match the paint perfect, I painted one a couple of years ago and had a brand new NOS pipe to match. I brought the pipe to the paint store and alot of the cap cans looked good, since there were limited selections for high heat I bought them all and did trial and error. I will try and see later if I have any cans left or if I made any notes. It is possible.
