Hi Joe. The 261 engine most always was yellow or green.
My 1962 was green and I found a bolt under the generator that still had a good sample of that colour on it.
The paint girl at the local Home Hardware store scanned it with the spectrum analyzer and mixed up a quart of OIL BASED machine enamel.
It was spot on, I applied it with a small brush and it looks perfect. The engine heat did not bother it either.
You may want to try my method as it is fast and easy to get rather than waiting for a package. And inexpensive as well.
The big thing is that it is the correct colour!

Happy painting. Howie
