Does anybody know where I can find the high heat green paint that matches the orginal color of the engine ? prefer in pint or quart vs spray can.
thanks in advance !

Spray bomb for me for such a little job. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 2 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 2 | Good Info.. thanks a bunch !

I have not looked through those old 261 posts showing Alpine Green, but I think I recall (as Grigg confirms, above) that Detroit Diesel (and/or maybe John Deere green) were/was similar to the 261 green. Both those colors are available in rattle-can. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,544 | The John Deere green is way to bright. The Detroit Diesel works good. | | |
