I used Ford gray on my engine and oil filter in my ‘46, Ford blue on the body of the oil filter, and Krylon Gloss Pumpkin Orange for the lid on a Buick I’m doing. The filter canisters look pretty close to the photos I have seen of original coloration. I also did a yellow and black canister for my ‘50, which I understand was correct for ‘49, but was evidently added to it, possibly a leftover from a dealership.

I invest my money in precious metals, mostly rust!
