Default Correct engine paint color 1969
Can someone clarify what the correct engine paint color would be on a 1969 Pontiac 350 Firebird ?

A friend is looking at this car on ebay and said the seller states the 350 engine received this blue color paint....

Thanks.

That looks closer to the 1973 color to me but hard to tell.. Definitely not the '67 color....

Not an expert, but I don't thing they changed the engine color based on motor size. It should all be metallic blue.

Here’s a link to the paint I used. It’s the closest I’ve seen to the original color

Ditto on the PlastiKote #227. Easy to find, reasonable, easy to apply, durable.
