Re: Engine Paint Chips

to resurrect an old topic, I've seen what I believed to be original car/original engine 288's in green as well as gray.

But to the first point, don't try to match paint from a scanned chip - it's not even close to accurate.

I have had very good experience with the engine enamel mentioned - I think this is a good place to pay a few $ for an existing solution. It might be workable to match the gray, but I've seen generic green paint jobs and if you encounter another Packard you will immediately note the difference. The correct color is a gray shade green without much yellowmore of a sage - it looks nothing like 50's Olds V8 or Duesy greens.
