This is a long shot but I am in need of a can or partial can of Blue Engine Spray paint part# 14-216 from Supercars Unlimited. They are not in business anymore at least for now because of health conditions of the owner. I need to touch up some spots and have not been able to get anymore from them. Is there anyone out there that would by chance have a can or partial can of Blue Engine paint they do not need? I tried a some from Thorntons Restoration but it was lighter and not much metallic compared to what I have.


Cheers!

Strange how you could have taped it off and repainted the whole thing one shade by now..... Or, take a part to the local paint shop and have them match it...... Or, try another manufacturer....
isn't this your 4th thread looking for a half can of paint?

^^^THIS^^^

Don't forget that any paint you get will at least discolor; if not burn off of the heads near the exhaust manifolds, pretty quickly if it's not designed to resist heat.

Engine is in the car. I have a spot on the oil pan that had to be sanded and primed. Thought I had another can but do not. I do not want to repaint the whole thing. I tried another manufacture like i said in previous message. This is my 2nd post. Nice to see you are tracking how many times I post. lol

I merged some duplicate threads, there is no reason to start multiple threads for the same thing. Good luck in your quest

It's this level of attention to detail that separates a showcar from a nice driver. I'm not even sure what color my oilpan is.

Best of luck.

I ordered a can from Fusick and hope it's darker than the stuff i got from Thorntons. As long as its close I will go with it because I do not want to do the whole thing. It is for show not a daily driver so that is why I am being so ****. Cheers

If you just want to paint the oil pan you can use aluminum foil to mask off everything else. Make sure you post an after pic.

If you blend it right, no one will ever know until you tell them.
