Where did you find/buy the Lume Bright?

I found it at Advance Auto.

Interesting how an internet search turns up several different "Lume Brite" sold under various distributors names. I wonder if they are all made by the the same company or if someone screwed up on patent/copywrite protection.

I think I'm going to pull my engine then to clean it up and do the timing kit. That and possibly try out a LSD insert unless I find a great deal on a LSD trans before then.

That's exactly what I'm doing right now haha. I figured I'd try the Lume Bright on something like the trans/engine mount or intake like you did and go from there.

Yeah that's why I got confused!

My Advance Auto, O'Reily, and Autozone all didn't have it

Found this on Amazon, not sure if it's the same stuff. Kind of expensive.

I cleaned and painted a SC lower intake manifold. I think I used Aluminum engine Duplicolor engine paint.

Is this what you used?

I saw it in this video:

I'm honestly thinking about going this way because it seems a lot easier and a lot less... chemical-y

The easiest way is to drop it off at your powder coat guy. They can blast it and coat it for an amazing look, but that is likely overkill for an intake manifold like ours that is more hidden than on display.

Yes, that’s what I used after a thorough cleaning and drying.

I'm planning on doing *everything*. Want the engine to look new like @escapepilot

I don't know if this will help but here are photos of the label for Lume Bright.
