Default Holley carb paint

Looking for info on paint for cleaning up my Holley Carbs. I used to use
Eastwood 12867Z Bronze Carburetor, but this seems to be discontinued.

Any one have a paint they have actually used?

Thanks Dan

The Eastwood stuff isnt really like paint, a light dusting gives it color.

Looks like no one else makes that spray. Link below is good reading on restoring carbs.

I've called Eastwood twice on this product....most recently about a week ago. The individual I spoke to claimed they are trying to find another maker/supplier of the bronze carb paint.

I'm hoping it wasn't just "a story" they are telling potential customers.

Time will tell.
