[Ron in Quincy]

Jim Sinclair,

The finish I use has a dull black finish; after it is dry I rub the finish with a piece of toweling and it takes on fine sheen; the heat from engine seems to set the paint; it seems to hold up quite well as long as there is no gas leaks.

The paint brand: Engine Enamel by AERVOE INDUSTRIES INC. Gardnerville, Nevada 89410 ; Flat Black #512; you can get it in a 6 pack, runs about $5.27 a spray can.
You can talk to Jeff Weaver, customer service, at 1-800-227-0196 .
