Post by RoelB »

Anyone know if and where I can find the correct blue for a '72 engine here in the UK?
Thanks

Ok, no luck, I got some paint from WASP, but it is early 60's Chrysler colour.
Has anybody got a blue valve cover , '71 small block up or 72 BB that I can perhaps borrow to get the correct paint made up?
Thanks!!

Hi Roel and all,

Did you manage to find any late chrysler blue in a rattle can?
Brush on is ok for blocks and cast-stuff but oilpans and valve covers need spraying for good effect.

Bacca needs some 360 blue too!

Hey Bacca, my paint man mixed some blue for me from the original paint. I have done the valve covers and sump, there is half a can left. It is yours if you want it.
( the fuel pump pushrod arrived, thanks!!)
