Is anyone else sick of the Pontiac Blue engines?
I mean I love the color, just getting sick of it. I am building a new engine this summer and think that I am going to paint it 55-57 Pontiac Dark Green. Just to be different. Anyone else on board with that color being played out?

I like black but will probably go with the proper color blue on my '63. If you aren't doing a restoration, it really doesn't matter does it?

It's my car, doesn't matter to me what anyone else says....
I painted the 350 currently in my T/A w/ black automotive enamel. Looked awesome for a few years. Dave, go for that green color!!! I'm thinking of Lucerne blue on my next engine, it's blue but way different from Pontiac blue engine colors.

I painted one silver for my 67. Never really looked right to me. I'm going to stick with the newer metallic blue for my next engine.

IIRC a long time ago Nunzi had a motor in a magazine (Cars?) with I think Ford engine blue. It looked good. Think it had black M/T valve covers on it?

I personally love the pontiac metallic blue HOWEVER, once it begins to burn off after 30 minutes of run time other colors would also look cool. One of the guys I go t swap meets with is building a 72 firebird. He painted his 455 a burnt orange color, it really looks good!

Hell no!
 Whoever picked these colors and put them into production was a marketing genius. These were the colors of the true Pontiac Performance Years. Love them. Embrace them 1959 -1965  1966-1970

Not at all. I really like the 66-70 blue posted by B-man and also the later 75-76 blue. The metallic blues Pontiac used on their engines makes most other manufacturers colors pretty plain and is synonymous with Poncho power .

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
