Hey Joey, what paint did you use on your block it looks good. I'm going to rattle can mine but i don't know what gray is a good match.


Thanks! I wire brushed it with my angle die grinder, and primed it with PPG Omni gray epoxy primer. I used the old water pump to match the color using PPG Concept single stage, mixing black and white to get a gray, and adding blue and yellow tint to arrive at a pretty good match to the original Packard gray.

I mixed it by eye, so I don't have a formula, but I could get one by spraying out a sample and taking it to the PPG jobber for a scan. It's a pretty darn good match, if I must say so myself, so I would be glad to share it if anyone needs to have it mixed.

No rattle can color that I could find had the Packard gray close enough for me.
