[DML] Re: Repainting Engine Pieces

[Travis Graham <tgraham@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just went through this while doing a ritualistic "valley of death"  
overhaul.  Having good experiences with their other products, I  
decided to give POR-15's Engine Enamel (aluminum color) a try.  I  
applied it with a foam brush (to super-clean metal, of course) and it  
was extremely smooth.  Overall, I'm very pleased with how it turned  
out; enough so that I'm already planning to use it again.  Here are  
some photos that will show you the color and texture of this paint:

The jury is still out on long-term durability, but so far, so good.
