Regardless of color or gloss single stage urethane will give the best durability. Unaffected by brake clean, carb clean, etc. You can get any color or gloss. Clean with DX 440, epoxy prime and spray. I have stuff that looks like this that is 20 years old.
Doug Doug where do you get that paint you used on your 64's eng as I really like that ? Ron Ron it's just regular single stage urethane. I just mixed it up to be somewhere close to Max Wedge orange. Doug

How does the urethane hold up to gas? Should be fine right? If you spill gas on your quarter the pint doesn't loft right away. The Eastwood quart can I used, it came out nice but lifted on the intake when I had a carb Leak. That got me mad as they say it is resistant to all kinds of chemicals. Wouldnt gas or oil be the most common chemical an engine might see?
I used to have a 30s car and I painted the engine, I happened to have a can of green rust oleum that looked close enough to the original color. I thkinned it and sprayed it. That held up way better than I ever would have thought. ive spilled plenty of gas on mine with no prob.its all about the cleanliness of the surface and i dont use primmer.

I did use epoxy primer and I a!always wondered if that had something to do with it lifting. I always use DP90 epoxy. The trick is cleaning. Do not use lacquer thinner or brakeleen as a final prep. Use DX440 grease and wax remover. Soak a rag, wipe, then wipe with a dry rag. Doug

I've used Plasti -Kote for years,holds up well. What I do is use the Hemi orange,then use the clear over that. Never any peeling or problems. I like the new Rust Oleum Chrysler orange,but it's a shade darker than the Plasti Kote.
