    I hope this is not a dumb question. I am rebuilding a 1956 Olds engine. I would like to paint it the correct Olds color, but there does not seem to be anything referencing what that color is. I bought a pint of "Ford Green" from my local speed shop, but it is nothing close. I see something called "Buick green". Is that the same? Not a big deal ,but if I am going to have to have something mixed up it might as well be correct.
    Thanks, Lanny

    Thank you very much. I placed my order with Bill Hirsch and the paint is on the way. I am continually impressed with the helpful people on this forum.

    Does Rustoleum spray paint hold up to engine heat?

    Hunter green is to green. Mix in a little black and you got it. And cheap to.
