I want to paint my engine before reinstalling it in my truck. If I am correct the color for the 1958 235 Apache engine is a gray valve cover, block and oil pan. Many of the remaining components are black with the oil bath air cleaner bowl being red.

What color code/name is correct for the red, gray, and black paints? Should these paints be gloss or semi-gloss? My thinking, from other pictures I have seen of engines, is semi-gloss.

Also, are there any recommendations for paint manufacturers?

Thanks upfront for any guidance.

John
