Valve Cover Paint??
I am getting ready to replace my valve cover gaskets and I want to repaint the covers. They are a blue of some sort and I need to know exactly what color to keep it original. I have a 1976 Cutlass S Y76. It has the original Oldsmobile motor in it. If I can get a paint code, that would be wonderful!!!

Again, by the 1976 model year, Oldsmobile had stopped using it's distinctive metallic blue for 455 motors (as well as the gold for 350 motors) and only used the corporate blue on every V8 it built.

I thought corporate blue didn't come out 'till 77. Back in '09 I completely went through my girlfriends '76 Salon. It was an untouched 43k car at the time,it was leaking fluids everywhere & it needed some TLC!!. It has a 350 & it was metallic blue like the big-block blue but it seemed to be more of a saffire color but it was very thinly applied!!. The engine had never been apart & it still had the "timing ok" ink stamp on the valve cover. It was definitely a metalic blue paint. I repainted the engine in Olds blue as it was the closest color.
