David and Christopher -

Thanks for the info.

Any suggestions for the top of the radiator? The current paint is too flat and it is also too soft. Thinking about semi gloss engine enamel.

I'll use rattle can where I need to, and a foam brush for the frame parts that are not easily seen. It's too tight to use my HVLP gun or mini gun.

Plan to do some test strips of black in various sheens today.

Based on the way that it has held up against heat, gas, and oil, I may spray the inner fenders with rattle can Duplicolor Engine Enamel. I'll choose semi gloss or low gloss based on my tests strips. Or I'll use Rustoleum. (My plans are a little up in the air!)

Rustoleum for the other parts because I can get it in a can and it will be easy to touch up.

I'm starting to spray and brush my engine today. The black parts will follow this weekend.
