what is the closest color in a spray can that looks like the oem green paint ? maybe some paint from autozone??

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.

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.

Painted my engine bright yellow with the POR engine kit. The paint has held up great, was easy to apply, and you can spot leaks a mile away with the light color! POR makes a bunch of different engine colors, I highly recommend them.

Almost looks too good! Nice work.

Not to hijack the thread, but what are the 2 copper lines for on that freshly built engine over the intake manifold? Looksike one goes to the intake port for the brake booster?
