[68RamII]

Hey Everyone,

I am about ready to paint the engine for my RA II. I have read the threads showing the different shades of Pontiac Light Blue Metallic for 1966 to 1970. Looking through my collection of photos and the photos posted here on PY it seems the level of green varies greatly. Since I work for PPG, I took the time to find the original standard used by our refinish department. The standard is much more blue shade whereas my original engine parts are very green. This leads to some questions which I have listed below.


1. Is it possible, that over time the engine heat, oil and dirt turned the paint green?

2. Do the judges at the GTOAA show really look at the engine color?

3. Are the intake bolts supposed to be black or do they get painted the engine color?

4. Do the water neck bolts get painted the engine color?

5. Do the oil pump housing bolts get painted the engine color?

Pictures and opinions are appreciated!!


Thanks,
