painting k- code motor

After a few engine builds and not being satisfied with the durability of rattle can engine paints I tried the POR-15 engine paint kit. After the initial prep and primer coat, you can actually brush on the engine paint. I have used a single kit on three engines. The finish is quite shiney, but incredibly durable. All engines four years later still look like new. Can't say that with the standard paints which seem to fade and the cast iron rust through. Is the Ford Blue a perfect match? Don't know, but unless you are going to concourse shows, don't sweat it. This paint is TOUGH. I highly recommend it and always get compliments on my engine and have won several Best Engine awards. No rusted, faded or stained paint here.
