Engine paint codes

[68_Val_Sedan]

Any one know a dupont/ppg code for the turquoise engine paint ?   I wanna get a quart of the singe stage urethane to spray my motor

[eldubb440]

made my own......pretty damn close

I'm gonna be needing some of that stuff myself. Can't stand rattlecans.

[68_Val_Sedan]

yea ... I rattle canned the pimp wagon motor,  It blew a rad hose and the hot antifreeze made bleach spots all over it ... I'm gonna pull the motor drop the 440 source heads on it and repaint the whole deal.    If I have some made up I'll post the code ....

yeah i want this too. screw the hemi orange.  this guy sells quarts of engine paint but im not sure of the durability. it has to be better than spray cans. actually i painted the engine in my essex with green rust oleum thinned with acetone and sprayed in a gun, its holding up really well considering it has had water, oil, and gas on it, so i think his engine paint must be pretty decent.

i had an old valley pan hold down with original paint on it.........i matched it to a solid color out of the book and tinted it to match..........have no idea what the solid color was.

Mark, that looks really close ...  the guy at the paint store is a huge mopar fan .... he loves doing stuff like this for me ....

[eldubb440]

do ya have something to match it to?.........if not i can send you a sample

[68_Val_Sedan]

yea ... you gave me the idea with the valley pan ... thanks for the offer  ...

A couple of sites that could have the answer you want.

Good luck, I personally use the Mopar engine paint from the dealers with excellent results because its easy tyo apply, holds up well and easy to m,ake repairs.

those sites do not have any engine color info ... the shit out of a spray can is junk ... it stains and bleaches no matter what hits it ...

I have not had any time to get there yet .... I will try and get ti done by the end of the week ....

[satellite65]

Cool. No hurry, just curious. Anything I can do on my end to help?

that utech 3.8 is some good stuff. holds up to gas and oil great.   nime looked as good as the day i sprayed it 3 years later.   use epoxy primer under it.

Not really ... I just need sometime off of work, we have been busy as heel the past 3 weeks .... not sure what it is but the coming cold snap will not help things in the busy dept ... I will do my best to get there by Friday though

Yo Chad or Mark,

Anything on this stuff yet? I found a can of MP turquoise in the basement and sprayed some on a piece of cardboard for a sample. It looks much darker than what I remember and took three days to dry @ room temp  . I think it went bad.

I reached out to a Sikkens distributor (mfg. of U-Tech) here. He took my contact info and said tech support would get back to me but so far -  nuthin'.

[68_Val_Sedan]

I dropped the sample off at the PPG guy today .... he said we should have something by Wednesday ... you want I should get a gallon made up and send you 2 quarts and the activators ?

[satellite65]

Oh Yeah.

Thanks!!!!
