Question

I've used VHT Chevy Orange in the past. It seemed to work pretty good and the color is definitely in the orange family!! Is it not a "preferred" paint anymore? Or at least an option?

I'm in the process of building a new motor for the Nova and will be painting it good old Chevy Orange!!

The VHT brand used to be one of my favorites. I haven't sprayed a motor in a long time but the last one I did is as follows.

I purchased a used motor that was painted a color the matched the car. Not sure what paint was used but it was almost impossible to get it all off without spending lots of time on it. So I tried the POR-15 chevy orange high temp paint you brush on. Just a little shinier than the rattle can but nice smoother finish that cleans off much easier. Very happy with it after many years.
