Re: [Amc-list] 68 engine paint color

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought a couple of cans of engine color for the 1970 AMC engines from APD.
The price
seemed very fair and the color is correct. I would think three cans should
more than do a
nice job for you. I only got two and haven't used one up yet. so far I've
painted a bellhousing,
(probably not correct from the factory, should be bare aluminum) two valve
covers and a water
pump and still have paint remaining in the first can. Kennedy will give you
just as good a deal.
