| RB pretty much covered it. I haven't seen the original for years now. If you go searching for it, the name is spelled "Glyptal", and the only color I ever saw was red. It came in a a red and white striped spray can or non-reduced (brush) formula up to a one-quart size. The last thing I saw used for touch-ups such as Glyptal (before more or less getting out of the business) was a black, high-solids, epoxy enamel that was a water base. Motor/trnasformer shops nearly all went to clear water based insulation varnish in the '90s, and it turned the triple dip/bake time from a fast one-day service to a minimum of two, just for dry time. Isn't technology marvelous?
I use a thinned oil enamel on lifter valleys, heads, etc., but I've notived that synthetic will slowly strip that away. I wonder how Glyptal enamel would withstand modern synthetics.
