The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

How I prepped it was simple, SUPER clean metal using acetone and phosphoric acid wash to clean the iron. No primer, painted with a gun following Frank's instructions. Laid down nice and hasn't chipped or peeled in the least in 3 years. Nice job on your 340 Scott

PPG doesn't have that color, so who might mix a pint of the correct color? Body color EV2 without the metallic. Unless you have an original parked next to it, nobody will be able to tell the difference. This!

Just beautiful MOPARMARKS. How is this for a someone to apply who is not experienced with a real spray gun? Do you need high quality regulator / filter / etc.?

Mostly good info in your responses, NOW, should I prime the assembled engine, or just spray directly to cleaned metal?
Still looking for LM29H1B415501, '71 Demon 340

Duplicolor engine enamels have always worked great for me. Even used their black wrinkle finish paint on my rocker covers. Came out awesome, perfect amount of wrinkle with heat lamps and heat gun. These were polished alum covers originally.

Don't prime unless you have a high heat primer. You don't want the primer to lift cause it will take the orange off with it. Clean the metal with Simoniz brake cleaner and spray the top coat.
