Olds engine paint

Has anyone here used this Olds gold engine paint? If anyone here has any experience with this, I would like to know how it works for you. Is the color anywhere close to the original Olds gold.

If you are painting a 69 442 engine, it should be bronze not gold.

X2 on the bronze. OPGI has the Bronze engine for '65-'69 Olds "400" engines. Larry

I've been looking for something that comes in quart cans rather than spray cans. I hate to buy something and the match sucks. I understand that the original is bronze. Anyone that can help with a good color match will be much appreciated.

I'm just guessing, but try Supercars Unlimited (www.supercarsunlimited.com for their on-line catalog). It seems to me at one time they had the bronze engine paint in quart cans. I bought spray cans from them for both my '68 and '69 4-4-2 cars and I've received many compliments on the color match to original bronze.

Do a search. There is at least one long thread with pictures on this site.

As Joe mentioned, Bill Hirsch. I have used their green on my 54 and was very satisfied. He has had good reviews on the site.

I have emailed Supercars unlimited regarding the availability of Engine high temp paint.
I'll update for all when(if) I get a response from them.
Thanks for the replies

Got an email back from Supercars Unlimited today and they only sell engine paint in 12 oz spray cans. Oh well, Hirsh it is.
