Topic: Correct 47 Ford Engine Paint Code/Formula?

  Does anyone have the correct paint code or formula for a 1947 239 V8 passenger engine (Antique Ford Blue, I think). I am looking a code that will work with a Dupont Centari, PPG or similar paint.

Thanks, Scott

  Bill Hirsch makes very good high-temp engine enamel that has proved to be correct for the application. Rather than "brewing" your own, it might be cheaper in the long run to simply
purchase his pre-mixed color.

  I agree. I used Bill Hirsch's except mine was green.

  Thank you for the suggestions. I went to Bill Hirsh's site and ordered the paint.

Thanks again,

Scott
