Engine Paint

I have a 1972 Mustang with a 302.
I need to touch up the engine block with the correct factory paint color.
Does anyone no what the correct Ford Blue engine paint is for 1972 and where I can get some?

Yeah, it can be bought from Eastwood. It's called Ford Dark Blue. If you don't want to spend that much money, then get Krylon Ford Corporate Dark Blue.

Don't know what Advance carries. But, just about everybody carries Krylon. If you don't mind spending a few extra bux, then I suggest you buy the Eastwood.

RE: Engine Paint

If you're gonna buy a can, there are the two at your auto store, and the dark one is the Ford Blue you want.
