Any chance of getting the paint codes you use or is it one of those "if you look it's obvious" kind of thing. For my Street Hemi Orange I had them mix up EV2 without the yellow metallic.

MP Turquoise on the 440....
PPG 3116 enamel without catalyst on the low deck/raw aluminum heads
PPG Shopline 3116 Single stage catalyzed Urethane on the Hemi
3116 was recommended by Steve Dulcich circa 2001, later on I found out it was the exact formula MP used on crate engines for many years.
TBH I preferred the coverage of the old enamel the PPG store doesn't want to sell anymore, and will give the Hemi one more coat + will probably clear coat it with some kind of high solids clear.
When I run out of 3116 I'm probably going to generic/industrial Omaha Orange as used on various municipal truck applications and so on as it's more easily obtained in enamel and will use a catalyst.....
They all have their ups and downs, it seems I can more easily get a thin, slightly dull OE looking finish with spray cans than I can with a gun and higher quality paint, but the higher quality paint lasts longer and looks much better.

All mine are single stage urethane out of a gun. Have some that have been painted nearly 20 years and look new. Just did my race car block and heads. The small block was done in 2003 Doug

All my engines are painted with Dupicolor Hemi orange engine enamel. I hit them with light coat of self etching primer first. Then spray orange. No complaints. My Charger 440 Six Pack engine has been in since 2007 and the Challenger Hemi since since 2017. Roached Runner 383 engine is no installed also.

Great subject and Happy Christmas. I only see one engine paint available for us Limeys! VHT enamel. I always put it straight to metal, and a lifetime later I find they have hi temp primer... It also says “cure at 200 degrees for twenty minutes or run engine” That would explain why it never lasted lol...

Where did you get that B&M super charger? I found that 8 years ago on Craig’s list NOS complete, B&M cast the manifold. I will be going with a 671 in the summer time. This little 162 runs out of steam on my 408.

You don’t need high temp paint. Normal car urethane will standup to anything. You can even bondo up parts to make them smooth. Notice the missing Indy logo on the head and valve cover. No pits in the intake. Yup it’s bondo, 9 years and counting. Doug
