A real good guy I know gave me a paint formula for Street Hemi Orange paint.
Local paint shops don't have all the tints anymore.
Anyone have a good Hemi Orange Paint they spray their engines with?
I don't want correct Roger Gibson paint that dries dull and looks like crap.
I want over restored shinny single stage paint. See my attachment
The paint I had good results with in the past and I can't seem to get filled was a PPG DCC Acrylic Urethane in Quart form.
Thanks Ron
Ron..
If you use Badalson/Gibson paint and you want the effect you desire, just add some DXR80(DuPont), along with the proper ratio of reducer. DXR 80 is a gloss hardener. Follow the directions and the paint will come out shiny and very durable. I havent really found anyone local that can produce a correct color. I use the paint from Badalson/Gibson. Works great.

I use Badalson's orange and you can judge the results yourself. Note: Its hard to capture the shade of orange, but trust me, its nice.
Your paint on that engine looks real nice.
Did you use a certain Hardner like MIke had said??

Paint it Black, did you do ask Mike suggested and add a gloss catalyst to Franks paint or is that out of the can? You pics show the engine to be pretty shiney.....

I went directly over Badalson single stage with PPG 2002 clear. It's very, VERY shiny and tough. The fronts of the heads and valve covers were color sanded and buffed.
