Por-15 engine enamel

[JcGc]

Has anyone used this stuff on their engine. I'm wondering how well it works. I don't really want to spray bomb my motor.

Thanks in advance!

I sprayed on my small block 6 years ago and it looks as good as the day it was sprayed. I used there kit where you apply por-15 first then shoot the color. worked great.

I was checking out there web page and saw they had paint you can apply with a brush. Any idea how good it is?

I used the silver POR-15 as a base for my engine color. Then I used Hirsch's engine enamel for my main color. Looks great. Hirsch's has the best engine paint in my opinion. And I used a brush for all my engine paint and had no issues.

I used the kit on my engine. It goes on fine with a brush and looks good. I haven't got the car running again so I can't attest to durability.

What color did you use? I know the engine enamel only comes in orange or black. Also how much paint did it take to cover the engine? Pint, quart?

Thanks for the info

I used the kit POR sells. It has all the prep stuff, 1/2 pint of POR 15 (you choose black or silver) for the base and a pint of any color you choose of the paint. They have quite a few more colors than orange and black. I used Chevy Red. with silver POR as the base. I wanted a good red to match my stripes and interior. I used 2 or 3 coats and still have a little left of a pint for touch ups if I bang it up too bad getting everything back together.
