If allowed to dry 3-4 days it is impervious to fuel spills and does not soften from oil saturation.  Parts can be handled for instalation in 2 or 3 hours.  For the convenince of purchase (Wallyworld) and price, it is hard to beat.

I like the Krylon too but although it does have a semi-gloss sheen to it, I think it is too flat for shrouds.  It goes on easy and looks good on things that are harder to see (like bumper brackets and windshield wiper mechanism arms).
