Found high temp alpine green 225 for .95 a can at the salvage store so I bought all 4 cans...funny my wife didn't share my excitement but I was excited lol

 

There have been some entries regarding the original color for the Dauntless V6.
I wanted to share my findings and the results are fairly accurate

 

Is that a high temp engine paint?

 

Not high temp, just regular auto paint. I did apply Rustoleum hi temp clear over but that probably won’t do much for the protection of the color, if it needs it...
I feel fairly certain it will be OK from past experiences and reading blogs. If not, I’ll start over

 

Not a dauntless but I used standard high temp Chevy orange you find in the stores. Holding up well.

 

There is a long thread on the dauntless paint color. Search
