For what it's worth, here is my '68 400 engine that was just painted with the Bill Hirsch paint. Crappy cell phone picture with bad light, but you get the idea. I had heard some state that the Bill Hirsch paint is slightly more metallic than original paint, but I did not find that to be the case at all. In fact, what I see coming out of the spray cans seems to have more metallic than this.
