Default Re: Chevy orange engine paint ?

Kurt is right, most rattle can paints are too glossy. I have always used Dupont Centari enamel with a hardener. To get the correct sheen or gloss I will add a flatening agent unless the car will be driven a lot then I do not add it. I like to be able to clean the engine with a rag and window cleaner or similar product so I usually leave them glossy. Oh the color I use is Hugger Orange as it is not as red as the original paint and it just looks better. Also by using the Centari, or any other brand of enamel with hardener, the color will not change as much and it will not flake and peel off if done properly. Check out the picture of a 69 SS396 driver I did last year. This is just my two cents worth also........................RatPack............... ...... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
