    Hey board!

    I was just pawing my way through Bill Hirch's automotive restoration products (www.hirschauto.com/), and I had yet another question come to mind. What exactly is the process behind picking a paint color for your engine? Do you choose the same color as the body? Pick randomly? Something completely different? I'm looking to paint someday, but don't want to get a "clashing" engine job! Thanks.

    the proper way

    as a purist the only color to paint it is the color it was when it left the factory

    Most of us go for the stock Buick Red or Green....or Blue if you're a late model lover:grin:

    I think it's a big personal preference, kinda like rolling the TP over or under..

    I'm a fan of Buick RED!:cool:

    You know, I've been looking at the engine, trying to wipe some of the grease off... I really can't tell what color it was painted at the factory! Need to buy me some better degreaser, methinks...

    What's the car and year, we could tell you what color it originally was

    Its a 1966 Buick Skylark, with the 340. Does that help?
