POR-15 (Restomotive Labs) makes a neat kit that I've heard good things about. The thing with POR-15 stuff is that the surface has to be prepped perfectly (Marine Clean, etc.) {hmmm, Marine clean, as in jar-head Marine-type clean. Now, THAT's clean! LOL}

When I get ready to paint my 406, I believe (as of now) that that's what I'll go with.

I've done the spray bomb thing a few times and have never really been satisfied with it. I've heard of guys using a PPG automotive paint product and I seem to remember Hot Rod or Car Craft doing an article a couple of years ago on using some kind of auto paint to do an engine.

I'll be watching this thread. Anybody else?
