    paint on coil and thermostat housing 63 340 HP

    What is the proper sheen of the black paint on the 091 coil of a 63 ?
    Also what is the proper sheen of the aluminum paint on the thermostat housing and were do you find it.
    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Hi Tim, the sheen that best matches the original on most of Chevy's black chassis and engine brackets and such is "satin".

    As for the silver on the thermostat housing, ect, Paragon may still sell a "high temperature" silver paint that matches the aluminum manifold and valve covers pretty well.

    I hope that helps...

      Tim, the coil is gloss black and the water outlet is dull aluminum.

        Tim, I have used Krylon Dull aluminum on the 63-65 '370 water outlets for at least 20 years. Although the paint is not rated as high temp paint I have not witnessed any failures from using it. We sand blast the casting first.
        Hardest part about those cast iron outlets is resurfacing the bottom of them.
        My 63 has a NOS '091 coil on it. Paint is production gloss black. Semi gloss plus. John
