I have a 1952 Styleline Deluxe, and have sent my motor for re-built.

Here goes the question : What color should I paint my engine...

I have look a few place and I keep getting conflicting answers.I want to restore my car a close as it was went it came out of the factory.

Sorry about this redundant question. I just want to do this right.

Thanks

Denis

Denis... Welcome to the VCCA forum. Lots of experts her to start helping you out. Here's a thread on paint choices, not sure if it exactly answers your question.

Looks good to me also. I repainted by 52 235 block with paint from The Filling Station, is is more of a gun metal gray than what i consider to be the correct color. I also have read that there were different suppliers paint and minor variations of color. I like mine better than the standard gray. talk
