ford blue engine paint?

Post by 69f-100 »

I bought a set of stock valve covers for my 69 390 that were already painted. I want to match the rest of the engine with the color that the valve covers are now, but i'm not sure how many different colors of ford blue engine paint were used. Could someone tell me what color they might think this is?

I could very well be wrong, but from what I have seen there is light Ford blue and dark Ford blue. That appears to be the dark, which I much prefer myself of the two.

There are a few from a few different companies. Calfdemon and I just went through this, Duplicolor makes light ford blue, old ford blue and dark ford blue. Its hard to say which that is from a pic tho, it could be either old blue or dark blue they look similar until you get em side by side.
