The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors 1951 Engine Paint Color

I am getting ready to paint the engine in my 1951 216 ci 1/2 ton.

I am trying to find out what colors the original engine components were painted. What are the colors for the valve cover, block, air filer, generator, etc.
Does anyone have paint codes or know where I can buy the original color paints for this truck?

Basic engine, i.e., block, head, bell housing, pan, side cover, rocker cover, timing cover,
water pump, water outlet/thermostat housing, intake and exhaust manifolds, harmonic
damper were all dark gray. The only paint the I would use if I were striving for originality
is pn FS359, FS119 or FS119P from The Filling Station. Read the “more info” below the
Description.

Starter, generator & bracket, distributor coil, crankcase breather, front engine mount, air
cleaners, horn, fan blade were all semi-gloss black.
Starter linkage, throttle linkage, oil filler cap, fuel & vacuum lines left natural (plated) or bare.

Did I miss anything guys????
