Correct engine paint on 1970 440 Six Pack engine
« on: January 07, 2015 - 08:19:09 PM »
A friend is repainting a set of valve covers on his 1970 'Cuda with 440 Six Pack engine.

He is confuses as the exact original color the valve covers should be.

I think he's planning on using DuPont brand paint.

What color or code should he use?

Thanks.
