We finally got to the point where we shot the engine block, covers, pans and what-nots for the 292- We used Eastwoods Chevy's 6 cyl blue (51617ZP)
The color is way off it looks to be a gray more than a blue

The last link is from the Eastwood catalog- showing the color I thought I bought and the smudge is the color I received- I would be pretty upset if I was going to show this truck or was aiming for a restoration- as it is we are just aiming for for a daily driver for my son...
