Hello
Im getting ready to paint my engine. I painted my 70 torino cobra's engine 10 years ago with Por-15 engine enamel and it came out pretty nice. I beleive I used Ford Corparate blue. Por-15 has 3 Ford blues available.
Ford Corporate blue
Ford Blue
Ford medium blue
Does anyone know what shade of blue is the correct shade for a 72. Has anyone used por-15? If anyone has any suggestions on spray can colors that work well im all ears. I have not decided which way to go yet.
Thanks
