need pics of engines in Ford blue,Corporate blue,med. blue

[1971ford]

hey guys, i about to order POR-15 and want to get there engine painting kit as well.

but i dont know what i like better without seeing the colors they list.
the have Ford blue, Corporate Ford Blue, and Medium Ford Blue.

i know a member got a sample of each and dripped them on a valve cover, but i would like a pic of a whole engine block in the color before i go ahead and buy it.


so if you have any of the three colors as your engine block's color, plllease post them
even if its just a manifold or valve cover in the paint color, it would still help.

thanks!

duplicolor sells 2 ford blues, the old ford blue is the lighter one, the darker is the newer ford blue, i like em both just get ford blue, just make sure its not old ford blue

[1971ford]

well ill buy one can of old ford blue which according to the mustang dudes should look like the engine pics i posted which IMO looks beautiful.

we'll see!

im pretty sure thats just ford blue, ive bought countless cans of duplicolor engine paint and they were all ford blue's.
heres duplicolors old ford blue:



then theres the duplicolor drk ford blue:



if i still had the caps around from the cans i could show you because the lids are labelled with the color code

i found a pic

[1971ford]

hmm thanks for that.

yeah i hate that old ford blue you have pictures.

dark ford blue is alot better, but i still dont really like it enough to paint my engine like it.

heres where im getting the pics and info and where they refered a good match as duplicolor old ford blue.
but on the duplicolor old ford blue cap it looks ALOT darker than what you have pictures. weird. all the ford blueness gets so confusing!

[1971ford]

ahhhh wait a second.

i just found a celica car forum where that exact picture of what ya called "old ford blue" is on there, and the photographer says its ford blue.

[flatblack]

ya it does look darker on the cap, but its really nice, just go buy a can and test it out on something and if you dont like it oh well.... i love all ford colors, its the chevy reds and hemi oranges that make me want to throw up
