68' Dart "The Huntress"
1shot is a really nice oil based (expensive) paint. Its intention is for sign-painting or pinstriping initially, but I like using it on anything. It is mixable, thinnable, etc, and will take a tint of other oil based paints, but I don't recommend using anything other than it to mix with. For the main part of the engine bay I used "rustoleum hammered aluminum" finish. You can be a bad brush-artist and it will still lay down evenly everywhere. One quart was $16.00.
The rest I degreased all the parts, and whatever could be taken off easily got painted out of the car. The color I used was "L Purple" which is number 162 in their spectrum. This and other colors like this tend to be on the more expensive run, but i easily painted the entire motor with less than a half quart. Once it's thinned correctly it lasts a while and has some really nice self-leveling qualities to it. I took it to a show and everyone really enjoyed the "purple motor".
