All y'all, yes I did rattle can the 261 engine in Daytona Yellow. I've named the engine 'CHAMP', due to an after market oil drain bolt installed with a CHAMP Items logo stamped on the bolt.

What's in the flask? CC Billy, that would be paint fish-eye reduction and flattener. SAA Sweet, it is made by a good ol boy in a holler not far from here.
