Source for engine paint -- 1970 Ninety-Eight?

A few years ago, I heard Bill Hirsch sold the correct metallic engine paint for the 1970 Olds Ninety-Eight. However, there is no listing for that model or year on his website today.


Anyone know of a supplier for authentic, correct color?

I can't vouch for authentic shades, but Supercars Unlimited is an Olds specialist:

(I know his details are off...)

Also note that there have been many threads discussing the "best" Olds engine paints - you can find them by searching.

Thanks, guys.


My search for paint discussion on this forum didn't produce anything. Probably my incorrect input.


I appreciate your help.

No, it's because the Search function sux. Like, it won't include numbers in the search string, for starters...
... And because it won't search for combinations of words that are adjacent to one another (it ignores "quotation marks").

A search of "Blue Engine Paint" turned up these three, for starters:
