VHT Paint Alert

Hi all,

Went to US Automotive today to pick up some VHT paint for an engine block.

SHOCK: Late Chrysler Blue (SP136) is no longer produced :pale:

Anyone got another good source for that colour in an engine friendly format? I'll do this engine in Early Chrysler Blue (SP126) but it's really too light for the 70's engines.

Is it anything like this Chrysler blue that Frost's sell??

If not do a search for "hemi orange engine paint" on here and find my posts about the supplier I used. I can't remember the name of the place.

Dammit I wanted brush on anyway but VHT didn't do it. Doesn't distinguish between early or late there. I try to resist painting engines Hemi Orange, everyone does it and I feel it should be reserved for truly terrifying engines.

How thick are you college boy! :lol:
I didn't say you should paint it orange. I was telling who would supply the correct colour paint you need! :roll:

:D :D :D :D :D You cant beat a sharp retort to bring a smile to my face

Reminds me of my old school teacher, who used to say to me " Read whats there, not what you think is there" followed by a swift clip round the ear :P

And Bratfink is not too old to get a clip around the ear. :twisted:

Typical uni technician, Always complaining that students aren't listening when infact they listened to everything and were merely adding in a side comment. I suppose you'll be needing a union tea break aswell soon :D

If i was allowed one i would take one. No such thing as a tea break right. Not like students that put in two hours work a day you know? :P
