Engine Compartment Paint Question

[Erv M.]

Have a 69 in which the motor is being pulled in the next week or so. The Judging guide states engine compartment color should be a uniform semi-gloss black. The firewall is painted with blackout.

Question: Would someone give me a brand of paint and a source for these two colors.

Thanks,

Re: Engine Compartment Paint Question

The blackout includes the engine compartment and firewall so all the blackout paint is one sheen. I use Krylon semi flat black available at Walmart and other fine paint dealers....

Remember, the frame/chassis were nowhere in sight when blackout occurred on the body, so the A arms and chassis components as well as the frame can be different sheens of black. Check you judging manual for some guidance on these items before you paint everything one sheen of black.....
