C3 - Underhood paint

[Jim Callan]

I'm detailing under the hood of a '71. What is a good brand of paint that will with stand the heat ?

Thanks

Re: C3 - Underhood paint

Depends which year and which components you're talking about. Some take gloss, semi gloss, semi flat or flat. None of them get hot enough to need special paint though.

Krylon makes a nice assortment.

It's a '71. The engine, core support, radiator, brake booster, a/c lines, heater hoses, and vacuum hoses have been removed. I want to clean and paint the cowl, inner fenders, and core support.

thanks,

Jim

Re: Paint

I would check with quanta products. They have a website and the have any type of correct restoration paint you need. They match their stuff pretty close.
