It seems CARS no longer carries the buick green. Are there any current substitutions in quarts? I loved the CARS brushable quarts. Goes on easy. Thicker and glossier so easier to clean. Its a driver so I don't care about authenticity. I know engine paint has been discussed many times but my search hasn't pulled up anything recent about current vendors and availability. Thanks

I remember not liking the por-15 for some reason but that was 12 yrs ago. Wow, 12 yrs. I think I'm gonna try Bill Hirsch this time. Thanks everyone!
Just did the upper part of my 401 in my 65 Riviera with a Bill Hirsch rattle can. Turned out pretty well for an amateur, and I thought the match was good.
That's what I use. It might not be a perfect match but it looks great. And how many people would even know the difference?
