Hello all,

This may have been posted before, but was wondering if someone could tell me the correct blue for my 47 flathead. Also, what is close in a rattle can for touch ups?

Thanks!!

Kevin

Correct color is made by Specialized Auto Parts in Houston Texas, part #M202. Called antique Ford engine blue. They say its correct for 1941-1948 trucks and all 1942-1948 V8 cars. Comes in 12 oz. spray cans, most suppliers carry it Macs, C&G Ford Parts. I hope this helps you.

I havent used the service yet but our local NAPA said they mix color to order and put on rattle can.

Is it easier to paint an engine with rattle can paint or just brush it on? I was wondering about over-spray & such.

I've used the brush on kind with great results. I just had to mask off the head nuts and other things I didn't want to get paint on.
