I am preparing to paint my Hemi engine before installing in my 70 Cuda. I plan to use epoxy primer as a base, but not sure what to use for the hemi orange paint. My local auto paint store said they didn't have any specific hemi orange paint for my gun. Suggested using a rattle can. I would prefer to spray with my gun since I have had better performing and looking paint with a gun. Any suggestions out there on what paint to use?
