yes, I had some areas of my engine that had original paint, and I am aware of the fading with time, but comparing them to the OEM 62210 makes it look as close as I've seen on any motor. In fairness, I haven't seen the Tieman blend in person and can't say for sure on it. The camara/flash plays havoc on light blues so it will be really hard for people not attending the unveiling of the paint samples in person at Bentwheel Bob's BBQ, Beer, Bourbon and Body Shop to tell which is closest.

I'm still in bird dog mode, but I intend to rip and section the sample boards and mail out to those with an interest. I would have loved to have you all here for the unveiling, but.... Obviously, there will be limits on how many pieces I have, but if you want a sample selection, send me a pm with your address.

Here's a few more pictures.
