Default Re: Engine Paint

Hello, I had the same question for a 52 Ford F1 v8. I think red was only used on the truck v8 48-51, with 52 being green. I couldn’t paint it green, just didn’t want to do it, I really wanted it red. Based on my research here looking at previous posts Bill Hirsch early 41 Buick red is a close match to 48-51 truck v8’s/inline 6’s. I tried it and agree comparing it to parts still with original paint. It’s a great paint, I sprayed some parts but had good results with a foam brush also.
