Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Paint
I just did as it said on their website - one coat of POR15 as a basecoat, followed by the POR engine paint 4 hours later. I did put a second coat on after that, but the stuff is thick, and once the engine ran up to operating temp during my dyno runs, its a pretty tough finish. I'm happy with it.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Paint
If you go with POR, invest a few extra bucks in their primer ( I forget what its called). The silver stuff as I recall. The engine paint goes on very thin and it will take several coats to fill in all of the rough casting areas. I think that I had to put on 4 or 5 coats to get rid of the 5 o'clock shadow. Having said that its been 6 or more years and I don't have any issues with its durability. On 12/14/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: That sounds like a good solution.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Paint
Plasti-Kote seems to hold color & covers better than the Dupli-color. My motor was originally painted with the D-C paint & it faded considerably in a year. The P-K has been on for a year & looks just like new. I don't have any experience with any of the POR products, so I can't comment on them.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Engine Paint
I POR'd mine at least 6 years ago, maybe a couple more than that. And I've put 40k mi on it. I don't have any issues with durability and holding its color. I would however use the POR primer first. It took me several coats to fill in all of the rough casting "valleys". I believe that the primer is a bit thicker and will fill in those "valleys" so that the POR will cover in 1 or 2 coats.

I used POR-15's engine paint you can brush on and it's self leveling. It looks great. I can't tell you how it does in the long term because the engine is not in yet. ;-).
