I’ve read that Corporate Blue is close. PPG DAR13358. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I just used the Dupli-Color engine enamel in a spray can....maybe you want something better? Color was called Old Ford Blue, no. DE 1621. It was a pretty good match to what I could find left on the valve cover of my 66.

Just be careful with the blues that say 'Ford Blue'. Most of them aren't even close. As U13 stated, the 'Old Ford Blue' or 'Dark Ford Blue' are maybe the closest. I have doubts about the 'Corporate Blue'. I think it will be much too bright.

I custom mixed the blue on 'Buttercup's" 170 to match some NOS engine pieces...

I will have to find the blue engine color I used. It's a little lighter and I think it turned out really good.

Hey - I am on the same struggle bus. Trying to match my 77 engine color. I took this valve cover in a few auto parts stores and I can’t find an exact match IMG_1410.jpeg
