Hi ....nameless
I have been using it for years with unbeleivable results. I even mixed my own OD color for an M-37....it sort of looked like army paint and mixed with gas for thinner it stayed dull. Once fully hardened its bullet proof.
That was 15 years ago and a friend of mine has it as a parts truck and the dam paint still looks good.
Years ago when rebuilding 455 Pontiac for the strip we used it for painting the inside of the engine blocks..... again once fully hardened you cant remove it. even the heat fronm the engine block did not fade the Orange.
I have also painted flat head six light grey for M37 and one in Red and the paint lasted even around the spark plug holes were water would collect.
Just make sure that all traces of grease or oil... even from your hands is well removed. AND don't expect a gloss like automotive paint.
Good luck. Bob C.
