<VV> Engine paint

[Bill Elliott]

I have always used Rustoleum Satin Black (the Professional stuff, not
the Designer or Quick Drying). Holds up well to gasoline and oil and
looks pretty close to original. Does NOT dry quickly though and parts
must be very clean... does not do well over oil.

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.
