Default Correct engine color paint

I’m doing some paint touch up in my engine bay, what’s the correct paint? Is it Duplicolor Pontiac blue DE1610 or VHT Pontiac blue?

I have not, thank you. I will look at those suggestions for spray bombs & see what’s available.

Duplicolor 1610 and VHT SPT122 are not 100% correct shade blue for '71 to '73 color, but will get the results of what you are trying to do for now. In my opinion, those premix cans are closer to the early 1960s Pontiac Engine shade of Robin Egg Blue. To do it right, it is best to have the paint mixed using the instructions on the website that GTO4BEN recommended.

I ordered some of the Inline Tube paints since it was easy to get on Amazon, I’ll update this once I do some painting.
