Engine enamel paint from Mac's. Antique Ford engine green correct color for engines from 1927 to 1941 is printed on the can. What color do you see?
Is blue green or is it green blue? It looks great except is this really the correct color used by Henry! Warning a quart of paint can paint a lot of motors...maybe should bought the spray can instead. Oh well....I can always use for touch ups!

Cute little 60, looks blue to me. Walt

I would call that green and by the photo it looks accurate. I would call the engine in Walt's avatar blue.

I think it's green, but not the right green. It does have a blue cast, which the right color does not.

Good photoshop job

Looks exactly like the stuff I got from Mac's. I also ordered a quart, which is probably enough to paint about three acres' worth of area. Mine looks like a really dark green, maybe darker than original but I don't care.

yellow.

Did you stir & lift as you stirred the paint? I sold paint for a while & most times it was just the painter not stirring the paint the right way. They would just stir in a circle but you need to lift the paddle as you stir. jus saying!! Your pic does have a greenish cast to it.

I tried that once and the motor shrunk and fell off the motor mounts!
