So I tried brushing on the Bill Hirsh engine paint did not really cover and it had like a green hue to it. I think I may have to get a paint store supplier to put the paint I have into spray cans so that its mixed better and will have a better finish. Any ideas on this? Thanks Gary
I used Bill Hirsch's paint on several 1956 Packard engines over several years... never a problem. But it has been decades since I did one of these, so who knows what the paint is like today. All I know is that if I stirred or shook well and brushed it on, it worked beautifully. Always. And never had any "green hue" in the paints I used.
Spray would have never improved finishes I got and frankly I felt the brushed-on paint (at least back then starting in the 1970s) provided superior coverage and dried very nicely. But things may have changed.
