Engine paint found under grease
« on: May 21, 2020, 09:15:26 AM »
So when cleaning the parts for my engine i came across this somewhat baby blue looking colour. it is under everything and even on the places they wouldn't get to when repainting like inside the bell housing and on the back of the crankshaft dampner. did anyone ever see this colour before and could tell me what colour it is? I want to paint my engine in this colour i think.

thanks

My track has the same blue paint on pan and frame in places hard to get.

Is this the color you are looking for?
I'll have to check the can when I get back home later today if it is.
