The MBC green looks great, I remember seeing that on Ikes page.
One big advantage of the Sky Blue/DD Alpine Green what have you is that it shows oil leaks well so you can rectify them.

If you are interested in the Detroit Diesel green, you will probably have better luck at a marine engine rebuilder (unless you live in a landlocked area). Anyone who repairs large inboards will know where to get Detroit Diesel stuff. When I tried a couple of years ago to source the paint, NAPA did not have it.
Google Armour paint, find a supplier, I think they are still around.. I bought 4 cases of it about 6 years ago when I repainted the machines in my shop. It was called Detroit Diesel Green,,,,,,,,,close to what you are looking forOriginally Posted by Jazzop
I went with the Ford blue from this site:

To rehash an old post...
I am starting to paint things now...and looking at my Cylinder Head...its orange red. The engine block is not really revealing that much.
Is it possible that there are other engine colors out there?

Might want to check on the Series II club board on engine color. I’m wanting to recall a red brick color was used on some lumps / blocks.Originally Posted by crankin
