Engine compartment/component paint type/color
Bought the antique ford green from Synder's to get the engine color right on the 1939 A-model but unclear about painting things like the firewall, generator, starter, water pipes, steering column (engine side), exhaust pipes, ... . I'd like not to get to far off the original track on color but want to use something as durable as possible (rustoleum black gloss enamel paint?). Suggestions?

Re: Engine compartment/component paint type/color
Radiator support rods are black also.
Cast iron sediment bulb is semi-gloss black. Be sure to buy the "STANDARDS" book, as it's a must have book for every Model A owner. |

Re: Engine compartment/component paint type/color
Should I tape off the main lower engine and valve bolts/nuts or OK to paint green as well? I also saw a picture of the engagement mechanism on top of the starter was unpainted. I painted it black. Which is correct? I'd rather correct it now.
