POR-15 Cadillac Dark Blue Engine Enamel - 1 pt. - High Temp Engine Paint

I have used this product on multiple occasions to paint engine components on several classic '50s Cadillacs. It is good for valve covers, blocks, intakes, water pumps, etc. You can brush it on or spray it on. I usually spray it. When you spray it, you can reduce it if you like but there isn't a need to reduce it much, something like 4 parts paint to 1 part reducer will give you better flow and still provide good coverage without drips. This paint is durable, you can paint hardware and torque to specification without it flaking off if you are careful. Like most paint projects, surface prep is key. I like to sand blast everything to get good adhesion and best results. Also you can use this product without primer if you use a metal prep but i prefer to use a good high-temp primer for best results. Save a classic Caddy from having a Ford blue engine block just because it was convenient to buy paint at your local auto parts store, and give this paint a try--you won't regret it.

This paint is the real deal! Very good quality paint. And looks amazing after it drys.

the perfect match for our 1968 jeep.....thanks!

Used this on the valve covers on my 1970 Deville with 472 V8. Color matched well to original, bearing in mind the original paint on the intake manifold and block is 50 years old and faded.

I had never had a problem with any POR15 product, especially when applying it. But this particular engine paint was too thick and did not 'blend' well .... it left brush marks, which the other POR15's didn't. I'll need to add a small amount of solvent to make it right. Disappointing.
