Clipper Custom engines were a sort of turquoise with black valve covers with a silver "Clipper" sticker that has been reproduced by the Packard club. I think I have used Pontiac engine paint in the past.

Firewall color would be whatever was also on the hood in any color scheme. Inner fenders were the black semigloss primer they were dipped in at the factory but with a heavy dose of the color coat overspray that would naturally occur when you aimed the gun in to paint the edge that mates with the hood.
