It's a metallic engine enamel from VHT
Well spent about 18 hours last week grinding and smoothing the block for the Packard and got the neew paint for it yesterday. It’s a 3 stage system from VHT consisting of a primer coat, color coat and then a clear coat. The color is RED FIRE.
Tell me what y’all think about the color and how it turned out
I think it looks pretty damn cool myself :)
Beleive me it looks way better up close plus you can see all of the areas that I smoothed out so seeing a pic of it just doesn’t so it justice :(
But I wanted to share this with all of you out there and see what y’all think :)
Thanx

thank for the info. i have seen smoothing kits , but wondered if the effect would be worth the effort. by your pics i would have to say hell yes! thanks for the info. am going to try it on junk manifolds and see if i can duplicate the effect. that color didn’t have to grow on me! i t knocked me out of the park first time i saw it! can’t wait to see it done! still doesn’t mean the reast of us “garage mice ” won’t come visit
