Re: engine paint
Synchro 99, I have seen a lot of model A engines here and all but 1 were some variation of engine green. The exception was grey. The owner maintained that was the correct colour and who was going to argue, he judged at MARC and MAFCA meets.

Re: engine paint
I have looked at a lot of Model A Ford engines in the last 50 years and haven't seen two that were the same. One of them was correct, I guess! Paint that is!

"The color of Ford engine green was
neither bright nor dark. It did, however, vary in shade from engine to engine. All parts painted Ford engine green should match."

Re: engine paint
Then there is that old story, perhaps apocryphal, that Ford Engine Green varied slightly from day to day because the painters would dump the small lots of leftover body paint into the engine paint tank at the end of a shift if there were no work orders for that particular color for the next shift. Ford never threw anything away if it could be extended for some other use.
