--- End quote ---
They are so close, you can't tell the difference unless they are side by side and even then you have to look real hard. SIMVHT31C is no longer available.

Sesman:
Thanks, Julie. 31D it is.

I've managed to find 4 tins on ebay so all good but thanks for all the help. When i get five minutes not in the shed, I'll bob some build photos up on here so all can witness the struggle ;D

Erny:
Will re-open this thread to not create another one

I'm searching for paint solution too (to paint my "new" refurbished valve cover). Did not find recommened Simonitz nearby, just in UK (shipping+customs duties+vat...), so was looking for something here.
Found this product https://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-engine-enamel (Nu-Castâ„¢ Aluminum color).
Does anybody by chance have experience with it please?

Manufacturer seems to be division of Dupli-Color, so probably equivalent to their product https://www.duplicolor.com/product/engine-enamel-with-ceramic/

Hi, I used VHT paint on my F1 and it has lasted well, I painted it in 2006/7.
The head, barrels etc were done separately and cooked in the oven, the crankcases were painted and were left to cure when the engine was run.



Cheers

Dennis
