What is the right color for my 84 H/O Motor?
I thought the Olds Motors were black in the 1980's, But it looks like it's got silver paint on it. I have all of the accessories off, though I'd spray it up nice. Thanks Jackson

If you're doing a concours restoration you can get the correct black color here.

To do it right, the factory used a low-gloss black for the 80s Olds engines. Not flat, not shiny.
I've used VHT low-gloss black engine paint with good results before, JMO. YMMV. Cleanliness and proper prep is always the key.
