Ladies and gentlemen,

I am seeking information for the color and type/process others have found to be successful? I've not heard of an ultra-sonic engine and parts cleaner, but some friends who own an engine shop dropped my intake into their cleaner and it came out spotless, inside and out. It looks brand new. I am looking to coat the intake with a nice coating to match the engine.

Thanks for any input.

Tom

Go to Bill Hirsch engine enamels and scroll to Olds 455 metallic blue. They are the standard in engine paints for restorers. .
