Default Re: "correct' Chevy BB orange engine paint

I happen to think the best results will cost you the best. Here is the motor in a friend's NCRS Top Flight/Bloomington Gold '67 435 convertible that received no deduction in shade/shine/luster from the judges. It is a custom mix, but man is it dead on.

Personally, I love the valve covers shined up nice, but the heads/block/oil pan dulled back.

a little more bit exposed with the "shop" camera.



(PS- I had NOTHING to do with the over spray)

This is how I restore my cars... This happens to be a beautiful restoration by Corvette Repair in Valley Stream, NY but I believe Kevin MacKay does his engines right. Wet sanded valve covers and a dull block.

From the NCRS Metro-LI chapter meet.

'70 LS6/M40

Tom Williams pointed out the Corvette is a '71, not a '70... so much for being a "Corvette" guy... haha.

Thanks Tom!
