[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 43552, member: 597"] In response to Minivin, well almost any paint is going to be thicker these days, given the original finish was only one layer thick ( being dipped and no primer used) the original paint was very good quality and obviously no longer available. The Shadow engines i have done have a coat of etch primer, then a light dust coat of 2 pac, followed by a thicker top coat...with a stong emphasis on keeping the paint as thin as possible. This is a challenge on finned items like barrels and heads where too thin a coating results in the edges of the fins being transparent in bright daylight. This is why i asked about the POR 15 as it is a very dense paint with excellent coverage, and probably would produce an equal if not better finish than the original, whilst still using just one coat......Greg.
