Pete Phillips Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Restoring a 1931 Chrysler CM-6. I think I've read somewhere that the engine is supposed to be painted silver. Can someone with more Chrysler experience than me confirm or correct that? Thanks. Pete Phillips Leonard, TX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Phillips Leonard, TX I believe it would have been a dark gray/green color similar to this.

Gunsmoke Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 If same as the 1931 Chrysler CD8's it was a blue/grey like this. When I restored mine, I removed the cover off the transmission tunnel and the top cover of the transmission (that had been protected by a thick insulating pad) was in perfect condition, all original paint. I took it to a paint store and they made a perfect match. They could not color match "engine enamel" so I first sprayed the engine with black engine enamel, followed by the proper color in the "color matched' automobile paint. There is a supplier in the USA who sells many colors of "engine paint", but we cannot import it to Canada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
