Hi all!
I've searched the archives and came up with a lot of contradictory statements. I just finished the rebuild on my 1965 HiPo engine. Lot's of folks say ANY black engine spray bomb will do. . .well. . I've bought paint from several mustang vendors and they all look way to glossy. Same with Duplicolor's 1613! Seems to me Duplicolor's 1634 (semi-gloss)looks about right for the block, intake manifild, etc. (I know, I know. . .I should be using a paint gun. . .unfortunetly I don't have one! Hopefully, I can fix that problem by the time it get's its ground up restoration after I retire!!)
So given my present circumstances what spray paint is the CLOSEST match?
NOTE: By the way. . .the fastback's frame was media blasted to bare metal and the "local paint guru" is working on it right now. I'm sure I'll have some painting questions on that subject shortly! Post pictures when I can!
Thanks for your help!
