Engine Paint
It's always good to match your paint before getting rid of the old
because some companies get the color close, but not close enough.
You will find each seller's paint shade differs a little bit.
Urethane, if you can get it, lasts longer. Some sources for correct colors:
Silvery Metallic Blue |
| Bill Hirsch's Old Blue paint
| | Brother's Olds Blue paint |
| NAPA Auto Parts Olds Blue paint |
| Specialty Olds Blue paint |
| Year One Olds Blue paint |
Bronze |
| Brothers Auto (800-442-7278) bronze engine paint is correct.
|
Gold |
| Check Plasti-kote Cadillac gold. It is a little bright at first, but it
mellows out after a couple of days.
|
| Check Dupli-color Ford gold. It is very close.
|
Red: |
| Ford red is real close to Oldsmobile red.
|
Any color |
| Fusick's - about $9 a can. |
| NAPA - about $4-5 a can. |
| Supercars Unlimited (503-244-8249) - about $8 per can. Correct color
is guaranteed.
