    I am having trouble finding Krylon 2114 engine paint. Is there a good match for Buick red engine enamel from someone else?

    I bought it from Year One for my 72, and it held up nicely.

    With the latest car, I bought the Krylon online, and after one heat cycle the heads turned black :Dou:

    Does the Year One red have better heat resistance than the Krylon. My Krylon isnt holding up on the exhaust port side of my heads at all.

    Thats what I found... The Year One paint I used on my 72, held up really well.. for years actually. But its about $14 a can.
    The Krylon I used a few months ago on my 70, turned black on the exhaust ports on the head after one heat cycle. I paid about $6 a can from the safety company link above.
