Paint code
Hello
I am swapping a 283 into my 1966 C10, pic posted in welcome section. Truck is blue and grey accents and interior. The HD truck engines were painted grey. I have tried Bill Hirsch, but his Chev car engine grey is really dark. I have seen pics posted here of lighter grey painted V8's. Does anyone have a paint code for a light grey engine enamel? Thanks Nitro |

Re: Paint code
I know this is probably not what you want to hear, but with the variances, manufacturers and their locations, etc., it might require a bit of trial and error and going with what you prefer. To give you an example, through trying some samples on scrap steel, I ended up using a version of a Ford blue for the engine enamel for my early '60s Pontiac engine paint. This is because all of the paint codes for the "proper Pontiac engine blue" were all off by quite a ways in my opinion.
