i used the por-15 Ford T Bird Red engine paint. the stuff is awesome, looks like powdercoat. used it on my engine & all the suspension parts

just brush it on, it leaves no brush strokes

I loved the Por 15, I bought the chevy orange engine kit. It is a three step process, brushed it on but it is self leveling so no brush marks. Looks great and so far very solid. Only thing I would use from now on.

Another vote for the Por 15. I think it beats the rattle can.

NO WAY...this whole time i thought you had VBP powdercoat them.
Thats amazing. I also put a vote in for POR-15. Did a block for a friend in Ford Red. Looked

At the moment I'm partial to the Chevy Orange
