I used the VHT spray cans, and it still looks nice after 10 years.

There is a Chevrolet Orange rattle can from Details that has a nice finish. Not real shiny. I think the look is very good...BKH

I also like the Details paint. All the others I tried were either too red or too orange or too glossy.

Here's what a few of us in SoCal have been using. It is called "AERVO" and I have only seen it in one place... an obscure place called Vellios Automotive Machine Shop on Manhattan Beach Blvd., in Lawndale CA. It is AWESOME. Absolutely identical to the factory hue, inexpensive, and easy to touch up. Men may be color blind, but I want my motor and Chevrolet parts that need to be CHEVY ORANGE, and not red or anything else.

Casey, POR15 makes an engine paint kit for 39.95 and you get plenty to do an engine it is called chevy orange.I just completed my engine in it and it looks great.Has a finish that is very nice! and seems to be much more durable than regular paint.Also it is easy to touch up afterward,and there should be plenty of paint left over.
