Engine Paint

Post by keelbolts »

Still working on getting the Tri-Cabin in town, but I'm going down down lists of stuff to do. The engines are 280s. What shade of blue should they be & where would I find stickers for the rocker arm covers?

Dont forget the acrylic clear coat after the chrysler blue. Stops the fading.
