Can't remember how much I paid, but covered a big block including valve covers and pan and intake with less than three cans. Don't skimp--you only want to do it once. 1969 Dodge Coronet Super Bee 383 A4 1970 Plymouth Road Runner 440 FC7 (sold)

Just got done painting a motor with this crap. Reminds me of the old formula Mopar Performance stuff. Supposedly the new formula MP stuff(from a different supplier) is much better. I've used VHT with good results. Ironically, VHT is owned by Duplicolor. Guess they have different formulas. Can't find VHT locally though. PlastiKote is great stuff too, but I can't find it locally anymore. PepBoys use to carry it, but now they have the Duplicolor crap. Autozone carries Rustoleum, but I've never used it. -Jim I can fix it... my old man is a television repairman. He's got the ultimate set of tools... I can fix it. Currently Mopar-less

The factory didn't have this deep glossy look to it. And Troy was trying to get that UN-glossy look. Probably not the "look" everyone wants.
