Looking for proper color for slant six in 71 Duster. What brand has the closest color. Also does anyone has pics? Thanks
Go with Mopar Performance paint.
P4349217AB Chrysler blue.
The Mopar paint may be a good paint, but the color is a blue/green.
Was it the batch I got? Don't know.
Rustoleum is now making Engine enamels. Available at AutoZone here in OH. I had great results with it in Chrysler Red for my 67 Dart. I believe they had it in Mopar Blue & Hemi Orange as well.
I started with Duplicolor engine paint but was not impressed, especially after seeing it burn off of my exhaust manifold entirely within a week. I mean, it's made for that! Up to 500 degrees it says. I seriously doubt my engine got anywhere near half of that. Very poor gas resistance as well. Your mileage may vary.... Good luck
Red unless its a truck block, then it MAY be yellow. International Harvester red is close if you cant find the Mopar red. The Mopar branded paints are very runny thin, not good coverage unless you put on 3 coats. A little pricey for 3 coats.What the engine color for a 1963 slant six?
