I'm planning to paint the engine of my 442 1971 holiday cope, but I found in the net different paint color (black, red , dark blue , light blue) on the same 442 engines ??

It's a light metallic blue for the 455 which should be in your car. Both Fusicks and Eastwood carry it.

You will likely see a wide variation in the darkness of the blue Olds Engine paints...depending on who you get it from.


If you are leaning towards the lighter to medium blue part of the spectrum you should consider some other vendors such as Bill Hirsch and other vendors. Fusick's Olds Engine Blue is fairly dark unless they have changed it recently.

Here's a pic of my mostly unrestored car's engine. Hope you can see the color.
