Not to beat a good horse to death. But, Has anyone visited Thornton's web site and looked at their engine paint? it's interesting that they're the only one's I've found that offer the same color paint as the picture of the N.O.S. head in one of Ramz's or Bro's (can't remember which) tech stuff. Supposedly for 65 400's only.

I don't see any resemblance to the Olds engine color bronze, but she obviously likes the color!  |

Not even in the neighborhood. I don't know where they came up with that color at all. They told me at the Carlisle, PA Swap Meet around 20 years a go that they had come up with the original paint code and I told them then that it wasn't even close. If the truth be told.... the original bronze was much lighter than what we are using now.

Does anyone know if you mix the two Oldsmobile colors that were available at the time Red and Gold if that comes up with the correct shade used on the 400 motor? just a thought.

This is actually the color of the original paint. Sorry I had to hi-jack the earlier pic.  |

Just showing the color....... the can is a joke (sorry) I copied Thorntons pic and overlaid the correct color.

I tried the paint from Supercars Unlimited last week. Actually pretty close to old color on my motor. Close enough that I'm going with it to end the anguish. Tried the Rustoleum, that looked too dark. There are no other original cars in my neck of the woods to be compared to, so I'm Ok if it's not a perfect match.
