Engine Paint

Hello

Does anyone know the paint formulation for Healey Engine Paint (i.e. "Steel Dust Grey")? I need to paint the engine of my BT7 but cannot buy any ready made paint locally.

Thanks

Myles

Re: Engine Paint

Send an email to mrfinespanner@earthlink.net. His name is Doug Reid, and he has perfected the formula for the engine color (at least one of the two shades I'm aware of). :cheers:

Re: Engine Paint

I've used the paint Moss supplies and it is very close to original, some say it's too light colored. Don't forget to use a good etching primer or you'll be doing it all over next year.
