For years I used Eastwood Satin Chassis Black and never had issues. =

Just to verify, you are just using the common Rust-Oleum, not a high =

I believe black was the factory color for all models, but for a race car =
I=E2=80=99m a big fan of a lighter color.  Mine are always just =
rustoleum gray (boring) but the benefit is it is easy to see oil leaks, =

that rustoleum holds up real well to heat, doesn=E2=80=99t need perfect =
