Re: Valve Cover Colors

Thanks for the info. It looks like the engine was most likely out of a 1955 Packard Senior, though I cannot recall the color of the engine block. Funny that I can recall the valve covers but not the block.

Though both still have their correct engines, I intend to instal a set of chromed 'PACKARD' valve covers on at least one of the two 56Js. I have two pairs in the chrome shop now, and the guy is gonna give me a quote for the best (read that cheapest) pair. I also intend to paint the script red, as someone mentioned is correct for Packards whose owners ordered the covers as AC.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to paint the script and have it come out looking like it was not hand painted by an amateur (me)?
