Off The Shelf Engine Paint? was created by nivlac
Hey, anybody got a handle on an easy to get, off the shelf SILVER factory looking engine paint. I bought what looked correct from Advance Auto Parts (I brought a cam end plug with me to match). It looked according to the cap but after spraying it looks more of a light blue. Gotta get this baby together it's getting warm.

Eastwoods Aluma Blast looks good and holds up good.
