What is a good source for the engine color, dark blue gray? Is there any spray paints available for touch ups?

There has been a great deal of discussion on 'Chatter' on the correct 6 engine paint and the FS is about the only place that has the "correct" color ("correct" means backed by some good evidence). :) If you do a "paint color" search of 'Chatter' you will find some very interesting discussions on this topic. :eek: You will also find with your 'search', some discussions on which items in the engine bay are painted black (and which black) and which are painted engine color.

My 32 engine Is painted with the paint that the filling station sells, and the color, paint, And putting It on Is the best. I do not use a spray can for touching up. The paint can be brushed on for touching up different spots and the paint blends In perfect. Good luck

There was some talk that the FS paint was pre-thinned and could be sprayed right from the can.I did not find this true and did need to thin it quite a bit but as CHEVY said its a great paint to work with...chef-

Ok, I have removed cleaned up the transmission from a recently acquired 1930 engine. The bell housing is painted. Looks good. The question is now, is the clutch fork painted dark blue grey, black or is it bare metal? I am thinking the fork should be dark blue gray. Everything I have read is that the engine was painted after assembly. :confused: Any assistance on this and information on the engine compartment is greatly appreciated.
