Guess you will need to check with the companies yourself as the info does not seem to be available with the folks on this site.

The FC can says "net weight (propellant and solvent) 6.8 oz. (193 grams) Net weight (with paint) 11 oz. (312 grams)". Paint by Automotive Paint Specialties in Bend, Salem, Eugene, Albany, Grants Pass & Portland, OR. FS-359 Engine Gray Enamel.
34 & 35 trucks are the greatest. 36 high cabs are OK too.

It takes almost two cans of FS paint to do one 1935 engine complete.
34 & 35 trucks are the greatest. 36 high cabs are OK too.

hi calmcar, the fs catalog suggests two cans will cover an engine...sounds about right... yes, I agree that it's a very nice color... epi

Hey Kepi! You said in your previous posting that the Chev's of The 40's spray can only had 12.75 ounces, and in your last posting you mentioned that they now have 16 ounce cans. They must have gotten bigger cans in the last 24 hours. ha ha! :p I only purchase the engine enamel in quart cans. I have been using the same can of paint for over two years now for spraying water pump bodies (I have done lots and lots of them) and I still have about half a can left. I also use a commercial spray setup so I prefer the quart cans over the spray cans.

yeah, I knew that the mutt was snoozing with only one eye closed...  that's because yesterday, I was looking in '03 catalogs...but today, I checked online...the pricing's changed for both, too... bow-wow... I know you use a sprayer, but the original thread was about the aerosols...which I apparently have sniffed too much of in younger days... epi

Too bad that you West Coast guys use that yukkey old almost black engine paint, I kinda liked the Chaurtruese stuff Bill H. sells! Oh well I will stick with yellow on my 261.
