    Engine compartment paint

    What are you all using for engine compartment black. I have seen it listed quite a few time on the sight, but somehow can't get the search feature to work for me, Maybe the new year or just me. Just started to freshen up the 42,000 mile 64 Fairlane picked up this summer. 4 door sedan, Grandpa's car.

    That's what I use - resistant to gas, unlike many other paints.
