Guest groscap Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Anyone know the correct engine color for Chandler in 1923? My cylinder block did not have any paint left on it. The head was painted a light blue, but it looked like it had been repainted at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 The engie color is a very light green. I had some paint matched from my 1929. They did an ok job of it. Pretty hard to match 80 year old dirty paint fragments. I could look up the code for you. Maybe someone else has a paint that is a better match to the original.

Guest groscap Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Is it similar to Packard Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29 Chandler Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yes I believe it is very close, but maybe lighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 29Chandler Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Jeff,I was told Du Pont centari Acrylic enamel #YS542AI have not purchased this paint yet, so I don't know the shade of it. This was passed onto me by Roger Chandler.I will more than likely go with this color since no one seams to knows the exact color it should be.If you find out more info, please share it with us!Jerry Hill29 Chandler 7532 Ford Roadster35 Chevy Delivery41 International Woodie56 Chevy Bel Air63 Sunbeam Alpine68 Camaro69 Camaro RS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest groscap Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Thanks for the code guys. Does the Dupont paint hold up to the heat on the engine block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
