1927 engine color
There is a December 30, 2015 post by Wayne Murray- Anacortes,Wa that shows a engine painted blue. My 1927 couple engine has that color and I think it is "probably" the original paint. I have seen many posts about engine color but have not seen any about "blue". Any comments?

I doubt very very very very very much that the blue is original.

Re: 1927 engine color
Here is my engine painted with Snyder’s high heat Ford Green engine enamel. I think it is as close as your going to get to the original engine green and I like the look of it. Also, whose to say that the dull green on the engine shown above did not look like the Snyder’s supplied Ford Green, 93 years ago when it was first applied. Jim Patrick.
