Air cleaner and valve cover paint
Hey guys,
Im restoring my original air cleaner and valve covers, and Im about ready to paint them. However, I would rather not use the dupli-color or Plasti-coat from a rattle can, but instead from a quart that I can spray with my gun.
Does anyone know where I can get a quart of Ford Corporate blue?

RE: Air cleaner and valve cover paint
do you think this would be a good idea to paint my engine and take the rust off?

Yeah eastwood's stuff is great, but they sadly dont have a ford blue.
However, they do have a "detail gray" paint that is spot on for alternator housing casting. It looks 100% like the casting.

RE: Air cleaner and valve cover paint
Ive seen that article before. Im beginning to think that corporate blue isnt the right blue. We then have a choice between ford blue and ford medium blue.
Help!
