This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Roughly how many cans of the Rustoleum does it take to paint all the Buick red parts for a single engine?

    No one has tracked how many cans of spray paint it has taken them to paint their engine?

    Smokey15 So old that I use AARP bolts.

    The amount of paint would be determined by how many coats one desires. I am fussy and I use 1 1/2 to 2 cans.

    I got some sample chips of the KBS - I might try it. Looked pretty good but I am not an expert on that red.
    Tried some red tractor paint from Tractor Supply and I liked that too.

    Hey

    Which color would you choose? The Buick red in the color sheet looks a little bit dark?

    BUICKRAT Got any treats?

    That buick red is pretty close. I recall from 'back in the day', that the buick red was significantly darker than what is available today. I have yet to see the correct color in the parts stores.

    I'm using Krylon Banner Red. It's really really close to what the motor was before and I am sure it's the factory paint on it. It is a bit more glossy but I dont know how shiny it was before it got covered from front to back top to bottom in grime.
