Thread: Engine colour

Hi Guys

I've got and 1958 2.0 litre spread bore engine. just wondering if anybody has found some grey paint that is a good match for the original.
I know the Series one club in the UK sell it but something local would be good. Brush or spray I don't mind.
Thanks Paul

If you have a sample or paint code any local paint shop could mix it.

I haven't painted an engine but there are a few threads about the correct colour. Duck-Egg blue is regularly mentioned but there were a few mentions of grey.

Original engine paint colour 1956 86in
Engine colour?
Duck Egg Blue engine paint - can it be bought here ?
