Engine paint 350

What brand engine paint have you all used on your 330s and 350s? Years ago, you could buy Olds gold on the shelf at parts stores. I was looking at the Inline tube paint

Are you looking for the authentic Butterscotch Gold or more universal? I went with VHT Gold Metallic. Covers well, does easily peel or burn off. Nice and thick and doesn't react with other paint. Duplicolor is watery and reacts. Hopefully someone will chime in with the best authentic paint.

The more authentic. But the VHT does look appealing. Any pictures of your engine?

I used POR15 Olds Gold, pricy stuff and only a pint of paint but it covered well with a brush. I put on two coats and it looks nice. No idea if it’s close to OEM Olds Gold but I like it.

If you want to save a little money and don't care about CORRECTNESS, Duplicolor universal gold engine paint is close but not correct

Thanks. That looks very nice. And I know VHT paints hold up well.
