I'm about to paint the old Cleveland. Anyone have good or bad experiences with any particular engine paint? I was going to use VHT engine paint in a spray can. I'm going to clean up all the exposed machined engine surfaces,, like the flat area around the thermostat housing and clear them with hi temp clear to keep them looking good. I'm told that those machined surfaces came bare from Ford when the cars were new.
If I had a Kirkham with an FE, I'd be alot more picky as to the originality and correctness of a certain color. I couldn't choose between the usual sort of bright Ford blue, and black. Since the car will be a very dark blue, in poking around I saw that VHT offers a "Dark Ford Blue." I think I'll go with that one. With the aluminum heads and all it should look pretty sharp with the dark blue car.
Now if I can only find a fairly cheap aluminum water pump for the Cleveland.....
