krylon jade green is not a perfect match but works well. use a high heat primer and several coats for a better result than i had with mine. i think i recall somewhere seeing detroit diesel alpine green being used as well.

well ive been EVERYWHERE and no one has either paint :mad:
My local napa can order the detroit diesel paint. Try your local Napa. Ive seen them on ebay too.
You can usually find the detroit desiel alpine green at an auto parts store. I'm surprised NAPA did'nt carry it. Autozone, or some place like that should have it. Keep trying locally before you resort to ordering.
Walmart has both...the krylon is a closer match
ill try "yall" mart today:D , nope, napa did not have it
Plastikote "Alpine Green" engine enamel is near perfect. I was very pleased with the results. You can get this paint at Carquest.
What years did they use that pale green color? My '73 ser III as far as I can tell, was not painted that way, nor was a '72 ser III I stripped down,
When I see pics of a restored series rovers w/a nicely painted pale-green block and no oil leaks, w/o the accessories also painted over.. ,, I guess they kindda look ok, But a Bright green motor covered in oil ,mud or dirt just doesn't seem appealing to me? Did they ever just paint the block black? TJR
