Well spotted Bob, didn't like the Buick rocker covers so made up some adaptors and fitted Edelbrock SBC covers, Its the engine in my Sue's 29A RP.

As for the original question, I'm with these guys on the catalyzed paint, works for me too.

I have used urethane and I have used 1-Shot sign paint. In each case the blocks had epoxy primer as a base. Both have held up equally as well. 1-Shot is less expensive and can be even be applied straight from the can with a brush as it is self-leveling.

Just used industrial stainless equipment paint, two coats, no primer, that was in `03, still looks good today, although you can`t see very much of it...
