I need opinions on suppliers of engine paint for a 31, correct color, quality, and price. any info will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dennis

Your posting probably should have been in the 1929-32 forum. At any rate, for the correct engine paint for your 1931 contact the Filling Station in Lebanon, Oregon. Here is their web site: www.fillingstation.com

sorry. the instant I clicked on submit I realized I messed up. a mind is a terrible thing to waste! seems the Filling Station is the favorite so far. their cd arrived yesterday. thanks Dog

You bet! And, you will find that their paint is the correct color, it is also top quality and the paint sprays like a dream.

Hey JYD, a question. Do you know if the paint the Filling Station sells is NOS or is it a fresh mix? why I asked is that before it is dry for months it smells like the old paint did, I had a quart of Very old engine paint an uncle in Mo. gave me that smelled just like the Filling Station stuff, and is exactly the same color.

Macky Wacky: The paint that the Filling Station sells is fresh paint. They have it mixed and canned for resale. The Filling Station used a large array of new old stock engine parts and then had the new paint color matched.

Is Mack saying The Filling Station paint smells like paint???

Seems reasonable!!!

Bill.

No Bill, REALLY old paint, mostly oil based enamels...the newer paints smell differently. I like the old paints better, but they smell bad, know what I mean?

MrMack, don't sniff that paint to long, we might not here from you for awhile...Oscar

Not to worry RtS I hate the smell of paint, now the smell of Napalm early in the morning is something else!
Semper Fi!

Ah, you remember those great days wakeing up in the morning...Oscar

Yeah, and having eggs Green side out for breakfast?

myself, just waking up makes it a fantastic morning.

Guys, besides drifting off the subject, it really does not apply to 58-60 Chevys, so off to the proper place.
