This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

Where do I get original color engine paint

    I have a 1967 Buick Riviera that I just got a couple weeks ago. I am waiting to install a new water pump because I can't find any engine paint that matches what is in there. As far as I know it is painted with the original factory color. Please help me find some paint so I can drive the car.

    Thanks, Joe

    NAPA carries it. Also AutoZone I think.

    That is good stuff Jim! I just used it on my water pump as well. Close match and it has the highest temp reading I have seen. 1400 degrees if you can believe it! The Krylon stuff only claims 400. Time will tell. Maybe it is because it has ceramic ingredient.

    Thanks for the responses, I went to G.I. Joes tonight and got some paint. It was a pretty close match, not exact but then again the old paint on the motor is probably anywhere between 12 and 15 years old. Hopefully I can get some time this week to install the new water pump and be back on the road again for the weekend.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Joe, that paint changes color alot over the years from constant heat/cool cycles. I believe it actually gets darker before it starts to fade.
