Engine paint

[65-440]

Posted this over in the paint section, got little response. Maybe this will work better ....

I'll be painting my 383 soon and need to get some turquoise engine paint. I was looking at the Por15 chrysler turquoise and before I commit was wondering if anyone has good results with it. Is the color close to factory ? Also read good things about Bill Hirsch engine paints but wonder about the color as well .

I went with sixpackfrank, original enamel paint.

I get Mopar paint. It covers great, and is formulated to the correct color. Here is a link, but you might be able to get it cheaper from summit or the dealer P4120752AB .

Never said it was. I suggested the proper color paint from Mopar...

I used it from Summit, quite a bit cheaper thru Summit. I Just painted my 69 383 AC engine with it. Looks great.

If you're referring to the amazon link in my post, I have no clue why that is in there ! No, that is not Por15 !

Sorry for stepping on your post, but I thought maybe you or the other posters might know if engine paint (looking for hemi orange) can be found in brush on paint in a can. I have use Por 15 on many parts and body parts. Don't skimp on your prep. I have used it with fiberglass to repair rusted floor pans. Great success, stronger than the steel and paintable itself.

Yes, I used POR15 turquoise. 16 years ago and still looks great! Even where the exhaust manifold superheats on the passenger side, there are no burnt or browned section from the heat. I painted it with a brush while the engine was still in the car and it flowed out like it was sprayed. Make sure you go overboard in the cleaning process - that is the key. Even the RV2 AC compressor is POR15 black. The black did lose some gloss over time.

I used por15 turquoise and it is very high quality indeed! As said by others, no need to spray it as it flows so well off the brush.
