Factory Engine and Intake Paint
I'm interested in finding out what color gray Ford used on the block, valve covers, and intake on our trucks. Does anyone know what its called or what the best match is?

That valve cover looks really nice. Is that the actual name of the paint? Did you use regular or etching primer?
I had not thought of going to tractor supply for paint.
Does anyone know if the 5.0 and 5.8 upper intake were the same color as the valve covers?
I guess the 4.9 intake wasn't painted.

I was thinking it might be Argent Silver too. My rear bumper has Argent Silver on the hitch/step area by the license plate. It seems that its a lighter color than the intake, but its hard to tell since the intakes I have both 5.0 and 5.8 are old and kinda discolored.

My '97 5.8 has the intake (at least the upper) painted the same gray as the valve covers. I don't think the lower was painted because I don't remember scraping any paint off when I cleaned it up to turn it red. I can't remember if either intake is painted on my '88 7.5, although the valve covers were still gray.
