POR-15 42098 Classic Ford Red Engine Enamel - 1 Pint

Good paint , too expensive

je suis tres déssue couleur trop foncer

Looks great,and easy to apply.

The paint can be applied many ways. I chose the brush on method. I painted the intake manifold in the house and the block/heads while engine was still in the car. The paint goes on thick and self levels. I was worried about seeing brush strokes but the paint smoothed out as it set. When i painted the block and heads, i had to use a separate paint cup so i could cut the paint with a little thinner because the temp outside was right at 60° and it was THICK. I have about 3/4 of the can left. And the paint looks great. It will definitely get me by till i yank the engine out and do the rest

I chose to apply this with a brush, though i had concerns with brush marks. In this, though, the paint was great - it is fairly high viscosity, and glosses out very well, providing a nice thick coat. The colour is almost a match to the Engine paint I got on my Mini in England - i will have to see how it ages to match.Where i had issues was in the sensitivity to solvents. For an engine paint, i would expect that it would be resistant to solvents, including a quick wipe to remove grease (i could even live with a dulling of the surface with Acetone, since that is pretty extreme, but...) When I tried putting a second coat on per the instructions on the can, i got a lot of wrinkling of the paint even without using a solvent to de-grease the surface. And anywhere Acetone did get on the surface, the paint got soft and could be scraped off with a plastic spatula (which i ended up having to do because of the wrinkling...) I had to strip and repaint the whole valve cover, but this time i did just a single coat, and that worked better.
