Things are looking great! One thing though, the engine color looks a little off. Maybe it's the lighting? It looks a little like the Bill Hirsch color that I used except yours looks more glossy. Then I repainted it with Duplicolor and I thought it looked much better.

May have still been wet when the pic was taken, I don't recall the Hirsh having that sheen.

I personally use the Duplicolor, but I am not one that cares to do things 'OE'. Plus, the Duplicolor is readily available.

I'll get the info for ya!

It's a custom mix based off the Duplicolor 1616 can. The engine was shot in a primer, painted and cleared. It definitely has a shine to it right now, but I've found them to dull down after a few heat cycles and they look good.
