Engine color

When I recently rebuilt my Starfire's 394, I found rattle can Chrysler orange to be very close to the original Olds color. I haven't seen that green in many many years. Did a '64 Dynamic 88 back in '84 and the color was still available. Check with Fusick since they specialize in Oldsmobiles. Also for the silver on the aircleaner and valve covers, I found a Wurth product that we used to use on our Porsche racecar wheels. Otherwise have a paint store mix some semi-gloss for that as well. This base and clear holds up better anyhow. ALWAYS use acid etch primer on the bare clean cast iron parts and the paint will last forever.
