Default engine paint

Can someone suggest a good paint product I can use to detail my engine with a paint brush, not spray paint? I would like to detail it without disassembling parts.

I could not agree more. This is a great paint for brushing.

The green (33 - 42) offered is not a very good match to the authentic shade but if concourse restoration is not your goal, go with Hirsch.

Dido to J Serry & Kube although I used the green for my '36 and it sure looked close as well as the blue for my '46

I concur. Follow the directions for brushing.
Don't keep brushing in the same place as the paint won't flow out as well.
Excellent product with long lasting results. This was "brushed"
about 10 years ago. Resists gas too.
