If you are considering an engine paint or repaint, think twice before ordering the POR 15 metallic blue engine paint kit, it is GREEN not blue!

I opened the can and closed it back up. I will be contacting POR15 to get their feedback.

I think InlineTube and Ames are the only ones left with a correct shade.
Not sure if they sell pints/quarts - but you can check online.

What about using POR for a base coat and then top it with the ames product?

Isn't the ames product by eastwood?

[Baron Von Zeppelin]

Pretty sure Ames gets it from InlineTube , or same supplier.
They had a formula made to their specs for it , and other years.
Not just regular production shelf products that have a take it or leave it color result.

I'd put a dab on something and see what color it dries to.

Was it like Johnson outboard green and 68 buick ? Is nice if so.

Caution if using POR15, if you spill antifreeze on POR15 engine plant it will stain the paint. Did a small block a while ago, about a year after the painting
I blew a rad hose clamp and popped off the top hose at t. stat housing, green antifreeze all over engine. Washed it off within ten minutes but it had
stained a lighter shade. Was not happy. Although it does cover nicely and looked good until the antifreeze issue. Not a Pontiac colour though.

Does Ames/Inline Tube have an actual accurate GM Corporate Blue for mid to late 70's engines?

Most,if not all engine enamels will stain if coolant get on it with a hot engine.

Yes.
Inline has all colors matched from 59-81
12oz cans @ $10 each.
Custom mixed house brand - not store shelf stuff.

Ames only shows Dupli-Color brand for 66-70
It is too blue , many discussions regarding matching 66-70 Silver Blue in the past.
