As for the paint burning off, I don't think there's any solution that will be 100%. I've had some luck spraying the exhaust port parts of the heads with alight coat of high temp silver paint first before applying the Pontiac blue, but I think it only slows the inevitable.
There seems to be conflicting opinion on what the color of 66 engines were. Stuart, your listing shows 66-70 as the same color, is that correct? Hoping for an original car owner to settle this. I would hate to paint it the wrong color.

If the Hirsch paints are the longest lasting, I'll use them, the only issue I saw with their paint is, it says not to run the engine for 2 weeks after painting or it could wrinkle.
