    Modern Paint Code Needed for Honolulu Blue

    Hi folks, Does anyone have a paint code from any of the modern paint suppliers (preferably PPG) to match the Austin Healey (British Motor Corps. 1964-67) Honolulu Blue? The original code is BU 42, but I've found BLBU 42 and Ditzler 12961. Thanks in advance, Marissa M.

    How to treat media blasted steel

    Cleaned my engine back plate with media blaster to remove surface rust. I want to mount it on the assembled block and paint it but I don't want flash rust so I coated it with light oil. Is there a standard method to dealing with the problem of flash rust after cleanup?
