Sublime green hi-temp engine paint?

[73 408 Duster]

Hello,

While not a specific mechanical big block question, this paint will be going on a 400 b-block so I guess this is the right forum to post this question in.

I am building a 73 Duster with a 451. The plan as of now is that the car is going to have a plum crazy purple exterior and matching engine compartment with sublime green accents, including the engine block. Question is, does someone make/sell sublime green hi-temp. engine paint, I cannot seem to find it anywhere?

At my local parts stores all I can find is grabber green which is more like a neon green and will not work.

Thanks

Just get some acrylic enamel mixed, epoxy primer the engine and spray over it.
Spray can is **** anyway.

Sweet!!! Thanks for posting the picture of the engine I like it! I know this color combination is different but why not, might as well have some fun with it?

You think it's fun now on the stand, wait til you introduce it to your purple.

Little off topic I know, but I figured I would post a picture of the custom AAR Stripes I just got from Challenger Gary that will be going on this car so you can better visualize what I am going for. Back to my original question does anyone know of a off the shelf sublime green hi-temp. paint?

Thanks

best bet is to go to a body shop supply house and buy some epoxy primer and a high solids urathane paint mixed tot he color you want..

it will look awesome and hold up great.
