Correct Engine color

[dlinebar 2]

Can someone tell me what the correct color paint is for my engine in a 69 stang with a 302. I want to go to pep boys, advanced auto to get it..

 

 

Thanks

Ford Dark Blue. I think all they sell now is Duplicolor, but i've heard Plasti-Kote was a closer match.

Anyone know the Sikkens paint code for Ford Dark Blue ?

As opposed to rattle canning it I have heard great things lately about POR-15's new engine paint, I'm thinking of trying it myself this time around. I like the idea of a brushable durable finish that leaves no stroke marks and wears like iron, just sounds too good to be true.

Something that i did on my motor was applying ZeroRust to the bare block and heads (two coats) and then topcoated it with rattle can ford blue. The paint is still holding after 10,000+ and it hasn't flaked off a bit. As far as the POR15 engine paint, i've heard praises and concerns. The main concern was the color match to the other rattle can blues. I guess the color was wayyyy off.
