 I too like engines that are either body color or a contrasting color. I sort of had made up my mind that the body and engine were going to be a Hummer color I found called Fusion Orange. It is kind of like the bronze you see on the new Nissan 350 Z's. I called the paint shop to order a quart yesterday, and found out I can only get it in two part, and the cost is about $ 200 a quart. It won't take many quarts to paint the body, frame and engine, so the cost is not my main concern (just somewhat of a concern) but I really like to work in one part with a hardner, especially on the engine.
 
 Maybe I am old fashioned, because my body shop friends tell me I should come into the 21st Century, but I just have never used two part, so I am not sure how it will work out for me. The heat of the engine also concerns me on two part, although I have no idea if that is a factor or not.
 
 I have thought it over, and I am going to call them back tomorrow and see if I can buy the Nissan Bronze in single stage. If I can't, the car may end up being another color, like a bright red. I have always liked light bronze cars, and am leaning that direction if at all possible.
 
 BTW, got my timing cover and chain from Summit today, but the timing chain is wrong. Nice guy there is overnighting the correct one, so I should have it tomorrow and be able to keep putting the engine together then. Mistakes happen, and Summit has always been good to deal with, so no harm done.
