REFERENCE: 15:40 in this Wishes On Wheels video: "That familiar protective coat of Aluminum paint" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6L0ykX9lPU Personally, I have been slowly repainting the D500 engine in my 56 Dodge from rebuilders Blue to Silver using Tremclad (Canadian Rustoleum) Gloss Aluminum, spray and brush. (The D500 valve covers were red with black wire covers) "Before" "After" (still a work in progress): Example of a very nice 56 Dodge Super Red Ram (2 bbl 315 poly): Edited by 56D500boy 2023-02-28 11:12 AM (GaryPs56DodgeCRLEngineBay.jpg) Attachments ----------------  GaryPs56DodgeCRLEngineBay.jpg (148KB - 64 downloads) | ||

Del S (Dels56) just sent me a link to some Aluminum Silver engine paint at Andy Bernbaum's new "Oldmoparts" website: Here is the general 56 Dodge parts listing that he (Andy) has: https://www.oldmoparts.com/autos/1956-dodge-8/?pa_year-made=1956&pa_... Here are the paint links: https://www.oldmoparts.com/parts/l_engine/engine-paint-spray-13-oz/ https://www.oldmoparts.com/parts/l_engine/engine-paint-brush-on-16-o... Not cheap. I will stick to my Tremclad Gloss Aluminum    | ||

So I guess we have to ask the guy on the spray gun??

I will stick to my Tremclad Gloss Aluminum That is rebranded Bill Hirsch paint. I'm not surprised that a scuzzy retailer like Bernbaum would relabel Hirsch products. Bill Hirsch paint is the most accurate and longest lasting paint for these engines. Buy from them and not from a middle man. https://www.hirschauto.com/Paint/departments/1/ The Plymouth Owner's Club at one time considered their silver to be the most accurate. | ||

I'm not surprised that a scuzzy retailer like Bernbaum would relabel Hirsch products. Umm...The paints available at Andy Bernbaum's new website (www.oldmoparts.com) are NOT relabeled. They carry the exact same label as the Bill Hirsch paint. You might want to change/delete your comment above. Nothing "scuzzy" going on that I can see. Same labels. Same prices. Just another outlet for Bill Hirsch to sell his products. Must be good for Bill, i.e. "free" marketing for his product.

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9903 Location: Lower Mainland BC | 57chizler - 2023-03-01 10:36 AM The OP states "engine was painted by previous owner" which means the color might vary from the factory. And I have been trying to convince the OP that, regardless of what paint the previous owner used (a "gray"??), the correct colour that he should be repainting his 56 Dodge V8 engine is Aluminum Silver. May the best paint supplier win. Edited by 56D500boy 2023-03-01 4:42 PM | ||
