I'm redoing a 69 Mach I, 351W auto. I have the engine removed & am working on the engine compartment & suspension. Here are a few pics of blasted engine compartment & the black primered paint.




Now the black primer:



I will be painting the engine compartment black over the primer the correct flat black.

Question:
What is the color code for the correct flat black paint??? In PPG if possible
Thanks

Raw metal prep

Be sure to use metal prep on the bare metal to prevent rust-paint stores sell it. looks good.

I am currently doing the exact same thing on my car while I finish up the engine build. I don't know PPG number but Krylon #1613 looks great and is a great match on what should go on the engine.

Yep, I did use metal prep on all the surfaces, that is the reason it looks gray in the 1st 3 pics.

Looks great! How did you remove all the crud and paint from the metal? Sand it, bead blast it, peal?

Click to expand...

Scrap, DA sander(ele) & then sand blast... What a pain in the a$$. Cleaned, then Ospho for the metal etching, clean with solvent, wipe again.
69Rcode_Mach1, I would rather not use spray paint, wanting to use automotive paint.

Needing paint code for PPG engine compartment paint..
Thanks
