FYI, Just stumbled upon an engine paint that's darn close to the older gray inline Chevys vs newer blue color. It's Plasti-kote #216 (what a coincidence) New Ford Gray , engine enamel.

Agreed. I'd like to compare it to the paint sold by The Filling Station. TFS paint is widely considered the closest to "correct" but it's expensive. It would be nice to have a cheaper alternative.
