Default Engine Paint

Hi Rich,

I have been using the Bill Hirsch stuff for all engine builds i have done. I have used everything from there Hemi orange for some 6 pack engines I built for some other guys as well as the Chevy orange for my cars. This last time i picked it up it seems to have a very long dry time, as in over a week or more. The parts still could not be touched a day after painting In the past it seems like it dired much faster. With Bill Hirsch it also seems that one time you get a quart and it is thin enough to spray and the next time im adding a reducer to because its to thick.

The reason i like it is it sprays easy, drys glossy, and after a motor is fired and gets a few heat cycles dulls down just a bit to more of a semi gloss to satin. Very durable and you can touch up, heat cycle an engine and never tell where you touched up.
