Re: Grey engine paint from Bill Hirsch...

Mark,
The products from Bill Hirsch are excellent. Even when applied with a brush, they look great, stand up well to oil and gas, and last for years in punishingly hot underhood conditions. I went back and forth but after looking at the engines of the Packards at the Automobile Driving Museum and talking with Earl Rubenstein at the Earle C. Anthony region of the Packard Club, I bought the paint from Bill Hirsch. I painted my block myself, with a brush, while the engine was still in the car, and I'm very pleased with the results. So far, I've spilled coolant, sprayed and then baked engine oil on it at speed (leaky oil filter line), and doused it with gasoline while taking the fuel line off the carburetor, and it still looks factory fresh after cleaning up.
Have you spoken to the folks at Bill Hirsch over the phone? The guy I got was very happy to talk through the process with me and explained the difference between their engine enamel and other options.
