Does anyone have a paint color code for the original color for a 216? I would like to by the paint locally instead of ordering it online. Also is there a specific color code for the black paint used on the frame and other engine components?

I just read an article re. The Filling Station and their research on the correct color for the various years. If you insist on factory correct check with them. Or you could shop around for a light to medium grey ? Chassis black is sold by lots of paint brands under various names like simi gloss, flat black etc. You could check with a local auto paint store.
Best of luck

Dark gray not light to medium gray, the original color was a dark gray which is what The Filling Station research has determined the 216 Chevy truck engines were paint with.

I purchased the engine paint for my 46 from the Filling Station. Its a very greenish gray. Is it correct? See my photo bucket to see what it looks like.

The paint on my engine is actually closer in color to the pic Denny posted. The color in my pic shows correct on my computer but the upload to PB and download to view changes it a bit it seems.

So, I was wondering how close the original engine paint color was to the steering mast jacket color. Seems that the Rustoleum #7754 (anodized bronze) would be close. Oppinions?

The paint color for the steering mast jacket and engine are not close.

The engine color is a dark gray with just a tinge of blue. A bronze color wouldn't be any where close.
