How many rattle cans?

(1/4) > >>

JustcallmeMrT:
Here I sit at my lunch break pondering how many rattle cans of VHT paint it would take to do my engine... then I decided to stop wondering and ask to experts. 😊

Also, do you guys use the VHT clear afterwards?

Trigger:
What paint? What colour? what size can?

JustcallmeMrT:
I was going to use VHT colour SP127 (heard it is the closest match to original) and it comes in a 11 oz (311g) can. 

Trigger:
The best match i use is Simoniz SIMVHT31C. It will require 2 cans for the whole engine (2 coats) excluding the sprocket cover, alternator case and clutch case. The engine needs to be clean. Soda blasting is a good finish for paint or to start polishing
I have found if you put a clear coat it always yellows over time.
