MOPAR engine paint?

[MCODECUDA]

The current Mancini turquoise is more like blue.

The actual difference is like night and day. The first picture is the Mancini and the second is the turquoise from Bill Hirsch.

It looks like I might have to try mazzolini's paint. Spray can, but ten bucks a can less than the awful Mopar Performance stuff, that needs three cans to do an engine.
I will swing by his shop and get one can to see if the color looks right.

OER from Jeggs.. This is about as close to true color as you can capture... I can make it any shade you want, no flash, flash, double flash, auto, manual exposure. As bad as taking pictures of hemi orange... lol

100% Bill Hirsh. Brushed the engine & sprayed the valve covers & oil View attachment 1219896

What’s really odd is that the paint that I got from Hirsch’s is darker. I called and they sprayed a sample and said that it matches all of their prior samples but it doesn’t look anything like yours which I consider correct. The one picture is Hirsch’s sample and the other is one I sprayed.

This was a different 383

What is everyone using for engine paint these days. I can't seem to get the Mopar turquoise engine paint any more ? From Canada .

VHT sixties Chrysler engine enamel is still available. I mix mu own and spray from a gun though. About ten times cheaper

I've got some paint made up. It's a single stage urethane paint , very durable .

call your Dodge dealer. Motor paint P4120752AC is still available in Canada, may take a few weeks to get it out of the USA. A buddy just finished painting a 1969 440 he rebuilt, the color looks great.View attachment 1219468

Is that 52 AC or 52ab?

Thanks, Dave

So, as I understand it.... the Mopar paint turquoise is really corporate blue, and the blue is really turquoise?
