Buick Green Engine Enamel by POR-15 - 1 pint Review

Used this on the valve covers on my 1970 Deville with a 472 V8. The color matched the original well considering the original paint on the intake manifold and block is 50 years old and faded.

Applying this material is a piece of cake for even the most clumsy master. , That's how it should be). It's great for something that's front and center, under the engine bay, etc. Provided it can take this heat!

I expect it to be solvent resistant for an engine paint, including a quick wipe down to remove grease (I could even live with matting the finish…

I have used this product on several occasions on several classic 1950's Cadillac engine components. It is suitable for valve covers, blocks, intake valves, water pumps, etc. You can apply it with a brush or spray. I usually spray.
