    Jason- I have used what you are holding in your hand on a number of vehicles with good results> Duplicolor Semi Gloss Black Engine Paint. Just make sure you prep the surface well.

    Fredensborg's 1973 Mach 1 improvement/build thread "Sleipnir"

    They say it is the best '72 Mach1 on the planet
