Where can one find a listing of factory engine colors? In particular, a 1966 250 Chevy Truck.

Hmmm. If a 230 was blue, maybe a 250...I assume he meant GM Blue.

What do you think they meant by blue\gray for a 65 250?

Thanks for the help.

My '66 250 still has some of the original blue paint on it.

They did not have the 250 in the '65 models, '66 was the first year.

Maybe the blue ones were the NORTHERN engines, and the grey ones were the SOUTHERN engines. grin

does anyone know the tequniqe for getting a liquid looking paint job on an engine (think Boyd Coddington). I assume that there is much sanding going on, there is not one rough edge on those motors, looks like they got 1/4" of paint on them.

Not a big fan of Boyd, but man, does he know how to paint engines!

Here's what my original looks like. Tell me what you guys think, but this looks a lot like Alpine Green...aka Detroit Diesel Green
