Engine paint opinions....
Currently prepping the 327 for some orange and wanted some feedback from you guys. I've heard it both ways... automotive paint is too thick for heat dissapation?...aerosol won't stand up?...who (if anybody) has the right shade of orange? I've even heard orange chrysler spray is closer to original than the G.M. spray? What's the deal? Thanks for everybody's input, Glen

I wasn't up to it but LARS has been kind enough to share some of his home brew pain forumlations right here at the tech section of the CF. I used spray paint --- uh oh better find a beat up CRX.

"People with nice ‘Vettes who use spray can paint on their engines should be charged with Vette-abuse, and sentenced to restore Honda Civics for life"

I use Dupli-color 1620 and I'm not ashamed to admit it.
As for the sentence, it couldn't be worse than restoring a mid-year.
I've been working on everything from Brit sports cars to army trucks since I was 16. Nothing, but nothing, comes close to my Vette in terms of being a pain where the sun don't shine.
