Pepi - I'll look and see what I can dig up and let you know by PM. In my opinion, it's pretty much narrowed down to three paints. For rattlecan paint you have two choices - OEM and OER. OEM is a 3 can minimum at about $70'ish per can. It is darker than the OER and a little more green. The OER is $16 per can with no minimum. If your going with bulk paint gun applied then the Tiemann is it. Each has it's proponents. In this thread from post 139 on there is a pretty good comparison of these 3 paints. I have just noticed, however, that at that point the paint fumes must have been overwhelming me and I started to refer to sample 5 as OER and the unnumbered sample as OEM. The order should have been reversed. I did not test the VHT.

On the pictures below of the Black Car, the engine was painted with OEM by NJSteve, and I reshot the valve covers with OER to freshen it up. You can see that the intake is slightly darker with more of a greenish cast.
