I have done alot of experimenting with paints and to be honest with you, my best results have been with a spray can. If your looking for a very shinny, glossy looking engine then go for the gun but if your looking for a realistic looking engine, I find that the old rattle can works for me. Just my  PS.....I believe the closes looking paint on the market is the Duplicolor Chrysler Orange.....not the hemi orange but the Chrysler Orange. OK, let the  begin
....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Troy,
I agree as well, we have all seen the engines
that look like the paint is 1/8 inch thick and
and as shinny as a new John Deere tractor.
The low luster spary bomb looks more correct.

I just did a 440 brushing and it came out OK. the POR does not cover well and I had to go over it 3 times to make it look good. I'll spray next time.

Seems to a bit of confusion on this thread. DURABLE paint is not what I'm commenting on, CORRECT shade of paint is what I'm commenting on. Two different subjects. As far as correctness, as I said above, it's pretty hard to beat the current Mopar rattle can stuff, it's pretty durable as well if you prep the metal first and apply it properly. Quote:
What is the Ditzler # for the tangerine orange that I saw her previously?
That's Dave Walden's (ECS) custom blend that he came up with when he matched some of the original engine paint on his 1970 440

Ever seen two factory painted engines in SH orange be different shades? What's correct?
Just like B5 cars of the same year. Two can be painted B5 from the factory and the shades aren't exactly the same... so which is correct.
Not everyone is concerned with OE correct shades, of course you have to know which is actually correct because there was more than one shade variation. Spray gun stuff is much better, more durable and you could even flat it to get rid of the bothersome gloss.
The mp rattle can stuff, IMO, is garbage at best.

Yes it varied, but not a ton, we are talking slight variations. There are plenty of durable paints out there, no doubt much better than rattle can or original paint on engines in terms of quality. However, MOST of todays aftermarket blends are not even close to matching any range of factory color shades, and custom flattening agents aside, are usually a mile off on the amount of gloss as well (a couple reasons that likely lead Dave Walden to match his own blend to original engine paint). So what it boils down to is that it really depends on what your priorities are.
