Ford Blue Paint for Engine?
Does anyone know where to find the exact match for the Blue paint under the hood on valve covers, etc?

Plastikote #224 is the closest match to the original Ford corporate blue imo.

I'm of the understanding the lighter "Ford blue" was used pre '66 and the darker "Ford corporate blue" was used '66-'81.

Mann, that brings back memories from my childhood. Went with my dad to pick his new 77 up from the dealership and remember the salesman opening the hood and going over the different items. Looks just like your picture... Very well done!!!
