At the request of the customer, I painted this Ford side oiler(pic) with it. Color is nice, but NO durability. 2) You can achieve phenomenal results spraying the Mandarin Orange or the Gibson stuff, without needing a spray gun or even a compressor. Buy a Preval setup(under 5 bucks) which is like a portable/disposable sprayer. Fill it with the appropriate amounts of paint/reducer/hardener and have at it. Works awesome, just chuck it out when you are done. Mike 3490603-sideoiler.jpg (110 downloads)

I bought a bunch of the Totally Auto stuff and, to be blunt, the oil pan I tested it on looks too "pinkish" IMO (not to mention how poorly the stuff sprayed out of the cheap nozzle they use). I think the Krylon (or is it Plasti-Kote???) Chrysler Orange (I think that's the name of their color) actually looks more like the original paint on some of the parts that RoadRunnerJD showed me.

I think the Dupli-Color looks the best and goes on the best. MikeE Who knows? The Shadow Knows! But he ain't on this fraking forum!

I used the Plasti Kote Hemi orange,then went over it with their engine enamel clear,came out perfect.I also used the clear on my intake and aluminum water pump/housing,and they both look brand new.
