The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Chevy Gray engine Paint

I made the decision to paint my newly acquired 235 with a light shade of gray instead of dark. Problem has been actually finding the paint. I tried all of the usual big box stores, the local hardware stores and even shopped online and always came up empty handed. Yesterday I stopped in a Tractor Supply store and found what I’ve been looking for….. Light Ford gray. It’s the paint used on the old 8N tractors. I’m looking forward to trying it on the valve cover later this afternoon when it warms up. By the way, it’s on sale for only $4.99 until March 27. That’s about 30% off the regular $6.99/11 oz can price.
