what paint for fan shroud?
What do I paint my fan shroud with? It's ugly and faded, and is in need of paint. I see all these pictures of shiny clean engines, but where do you find paint that is both heat and sovent resistant. I thought about engine paint, but all I can find for red is chevy or ford red, which is sortof orange. help!

I used the Ford engine red. It matched my SC's engine shroud color exactly>

You can get all sorts of heat-resistant colors in spraycans. I painted my shroud a pretty close match to the car's yellowbird yellow. It has held up just fine.
