Where can I find out what the color scheme is for painting a 56 352 engine.

Here you go. The Geo Metro color I use is only a tiny bit brighter than the original. The location of colors on this engine is painfully correct.

What year is that color from????

I just looked at the geo forum. The color in their chart looks more like the Aque Blue Metallic than either of the greens that are there.

Ross, how did you paint the "Clipper" script on the valve covers? I'm trying to do the same on Packard chrome covers.

I think 89 was the year for the Geo paint. Will doublecheck.

Randy: I use model paint and a cheap artist's brush. The key is lay down some paint in the middle of the line you are painting and then push it out to the edge of the embossing with the brush. Takes me about 20 minutes per cover. Depending on what the customer wants, I sometimes clearcoat the whole thing afterward. The originals were not particularly shiney or neatly done.
