The paint is VHT rattle can engine enamel.
I used "Cast Aluminum" on the block and metallic "Titanium Silver Blue" on the intake covers and pan.
The frame for the most part looks the way I want it too.
I did some research on the net and ended up using a good bristle brush to apply it as it has to go on thick to get the hammered effect. I cleaned the brush constantly while applying it as it would start to dry and be kind of a pain.
You also have to constantly stir the paint or it separates fairly quickly and you can get a color difference.
As far as doing it again I'll let you know when I get the second coat on in a week or so.
Here's a close up of the frame. You can see it needs another coat.
Hope this helps.
