My problem with the MP paint is that it doesn't stay on. Usually in less than a year it starts comming off and rust shows through. It looks good going on and nice right after you paint it. Maybe i'm doing something wrong. I sandblasted my intake clean and then applied about 2 or 3 coats, allowing for sticky dry in between. I'm not going to use it any more.
Love them 68 MOPARS! GTS 340 auto, Charger R/T 440 4-speed, Superbee 383 auto, GTX 440 auto, D100 (new front frame 5.7 hemi - in process), Formula S 340 4-Speed A/C (it's green), 383 auto Roadrunner (maybe a hemi - waiting) and a 68 W200 Power Wagon. Drivers: 07 Cummins and 14 Ecodiesel 4x4.

I always spray my parts down with brake parts cleaner to remove any impurities. Here are the valve covers just prior to paint:

I've even taken a propane torch to all metal parts and "burned" or evaporated the fluids, grease, liquids off or out of the pores, cracks, corners, etc.,............wait a while before you do this if you just used lacquer thinner, or contact cleaner...."don't ask me how I know"

I painted my intake with MP torquise and went on fine, still burn't off at the crossover. I have five cans if anyone wants them, we just have to figure how to ship as cannot mail them. I order a can from my local chrysler dealer and when they order came in it was a case of 6 cans. I am only keeping two so three cans are yours free if we can find a shipping source. thanks
