292 Green Engine Paint ...
I was wondering where to grab some of this stuff ??
My partner located early Buick Straight 8 paint which looks similar ... He can get that, but couldnt find the 292 paint. Wonder if its the same ?? (search isnt working for me , 'fatal errors')

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
I did a search and found this ....
"292 Green can be obtained through Krylon, paint #2013, known as GM Alpine Green or Detroit Diesel Green"

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
the astronaut painted his highly detailed 65 restoration 292 green... I think he had something mixed up, check out his build thread and PM him about it. All his stuff is dead on perfect.
I have heard the alpine green and detriot green is close also

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
Cool, thanks !!
I wouldn't need anything mixed, not for this rusty rig .... Just close out of a spray can would be good. So I guess Alpine/Detroit diesel green it is ??

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
Thanks Sig. I used Plasticote Alpine Green on the '65, there wasn't enough original paint to have it matched. The PlastiKote lays out good and has good gloss. Its either a tad lighter, or the original paint was stained and darker, but close enough to not really matter.

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
You have a very nice engine compartment sir. I hope mine looks half that nice when I finish it (64 with a 292). I do insist that the engine is the (almost) correct color and not Chevy orange like it is now. The funny thing is, they did a shabby job and missed some of the lower block (near the bell housing) that is still green.
Thanks for sharing. |

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
http://www.oldchevytrucks.com/Articles/Engine-Paint.php Hope this link helps. My 64 is green and I know this because there were still traces of it on the block. It was painted over with orange and not very good because they missed down by the bell housing. |

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
I used that gm Detroit diesel alpine green. It makes the 292 look darn close to factory regardless of what carb and exhausted setup your running.

Re: 292 Green Engine Paint ...
Nice. The guy I'm workingfor now was telling me about this old truck that had a 305 6 in it and how much torque they have. Then few days later our steel supplier said something similar of that engine. Found it ironic
