Best Engine Paint?
Going to put the final touches on my engine this next weekend. What is the best paint to use on it? Also I have an aluminum intake, will this be a problem as I want to paint it as well. Going with Chevy Orange!

Avoid the Hirsch engine paints. I had a terrrible time with their product last year.
If I had to do it all over again, (Which I may) I'd try the por-15 engine paint product or the Eastwood paint.

I used VHT engine paint on my aluminum intake. I haven't run the motor yet but the paint stuck ok. Just make sure it's clean.

I just shot some black primer on mine, still there with only some minor discoloration around the exhaust ports on the intake manifold...
