I ordered some paint to do some touch-ups on my engine (1970) and it is pretty obvious that it was painted the wrong color.

Rather they try to do a color change I'm just going to stick with the color it is now.

The question is, what year paint do I need?

Is it from a 1977-1982?

Looks to me like 64-65 Ponitac blue? Not enough green in it for 71-73.

My bet would be the VHT SP122, as Tripower says not enough green in it.

It is the one to the left

Looks like GM corporate blue to me. Plus it's the only GM engine blue in the rattle can on the auto parts shelf. I used it because I didn't care.

We are comparing pictures on the internet. The camera flash, or lack of, will change how colors look also. I just know that the cans I bought said GM Corporate blue and it looks very much like your first posted picture, and nothing like that second picture. You could pick up a can cheap at the parts store and compare it in person though.
