engine paint

Quite a regular

I need to do some touchup painting on the engine in my 42 clipper. Can anyone tell me the color and or supplier of the correct paint. Also, is there a rattle can paint that is close. I am mostly working on the bottom of the engine so it may not show from the top anyway.
Thanks,
Miles

Dear Crotomac:

Elsewhere in the forum I posted a note about Bill Hirsch's Packard green engine paint.

I also posted a spray card next to an original part for people to compare.

It comes in spray cans.

Cheers

Krylon makes a green paint that is pretty close to the Packard green. I think it might be Moss green. I can't think of the name offhand but it is what I used to paint the transmission and clutch cover. I used the Hirsch paint on the head and engine block and it is very durable.

Thanks for the help. I hope to do a full freshening up of the engine compartment in another year or two and then I will get the Hirsch paint. However, the Krylon sounds like it may be just what I need to take care of my needs for now.
Thanks again,
Miles
