I know many of you also work on A’s, so I figured I might get a quick answer here.
I’m looking for a paint code for the green that was used on Model A engines. I don’t have a good sample to match. Please post it here and / or email me. Thanks!
Does anyone have a paint code for Model A engine green?

I believe you can purchase Model A engine paint in spray cans from the A vendors.

Vendors have two different colors of green one that is a medium green is Gaslight's the forest green Snyder's carry so depends on the color you want? They are both in rattle cans. Hope this helps.

And all the vendors put the correct size rear windows in the correct location on all the ‘23-‘25 top kits they sell...
(But seriously, I need the product in a good automotive quality single stage urethane)

Re: Does anyone have a paint code for Model A engine green?
I have never had any problems or complaints with Bill Hirsch paints, especially the engine enamels that the sell. I have used them on Model A's, Packards, Buicks and Dodge Brothers and they always look fantastic. The photo below is of a spare Model A transmission case that I had on the shelf, it is painted with the Bill Hirsch, Ford Model A engine enamel.
They offer it in aerosol or in a 1 quart can as well. Just be aware that "full cure" for their enamels takes a little bit of time, probably the only drawback. I know that Bill Hirsch supplies at least one of the Model A vendors, but I do not remember which one

Re: Does anyone have a paint code for Model A engine green?
I’m following up. According to my paint dealer, the DS127 is a gray-green and the DS135 is also gray-green “but just a hair” greener. I ordered the DS135 in a 2k single stage urethane & will post a photo & opinion next week.
