I bought two cans of Duplicolor Old Ford Blue paint and test sprayed it. It looks like the darker blue. Hmmm. Do you have the number on the can? Mine is DE1621

Wasn't exactly the color I was after, but it looks decent. I ended up getting a different engine that has the color I like



That's the only decent picture I have of it before I put it in the truck..
