Sorry guys, i didn´t find any posting about this question.

VHT, Pentastar Color or POR15???
I need a good paint which is resistent against oil, gasoline and maybe industrial cleaner!
 
Dupli-Color

You are kidding right? I found Dupli-color to be inconsistent in color and quality.

I prefer Eastwood Company's engine paints. I haven't tried their new 2K version, but the standard stuff you can get cheap if you open an account and take their daily spam sales. They usually discount their stuff pretty regular.

Here is the 3.8L V6 Chevy (GASP!!) I painted with their Chevy orange. Easy to use and pretty durable.

The silver parts are actually enamel.

I do all black parts with Nason chassis black because it is super-super cheap and you can read all the stampings through it.

Nope, I'm not kidding, I'm Serious, I have NEVER had any inconsistency with the colors, ...but it is a little thin,....It's a great match to the Original Chrysler colors, ...The sheen is just right, Not too Glossy, Not too Flat, ....I use the Chrysler Orange often, and the Quality is equal to late 60s early 70s factory engine paints. I have used it on quite a few High End Restorations with Excellent results. ....I always built up with several light coats to get coverage I desire, and then a final wet coat after I'm satisfied with the coverage, casting and part number read well through it too.
 
I used the new Rustoleum engine paints so far it has held up well
 
I use the aerosal Engine Enamel Paint from Mopar. Has held up real well thus far and as far as match..well...It comes from the people that originally started producing the colors. I couldn't tell you if they still make the stuff though..been a couple years.
