Lt 1 Intake/ Silver Paint?

Are The Cyl. Heads Painted Silver By The Intake/ As On Older Alluminum Intakes.?

Re: Lt 1 Intake/ Silver Paint?

They were on mine before the leaking Holley caused gasoline to remove the silver paint.

Re: Lt 1 Intake/ Silver Paint?

they painted that area so the machined cast iron cylinder head area would not rust before the dealer sold the car

What rattle can silver would be a match to the original silver paint?

I lost a little original paint due to trying to clean up the motor with a degreaser.

One More Question, Did The Intake Bolts Get Silver Paint In Them, Too?

[Terry M.]

Re: Lt 1 Intake/ Silver Paint?

Yes, the intake bolts were painted silver with the manifold.

I'm still looking for a match in a rattle can -- although a match, given the poor quality of the original paint, might not be the most appropriate goal.

Should the paint be silver or Aluma Blast?

Dull Aluminum by Krylon is a match for the 60's engines. I have to guess it would work for 70's too?

Regular aluminun color spray paint will be too shinny.

Does anyone know of a source for the Krylon dull aluminum? Bought a case a year ago, and all cans were duds.

I bought the can I used at a local hardware store, I think it was an Ace hardware. However, I was in Walmart yesterday and was suprised by their selection of Krylon paint - it was huge and yes they had
Krylon Dull Aluminum.

Hope this helps.

Re: Lt 1 Intake/ Silver Paint?

Dennis, thanks for reply. Years ago I could find the dull aluminum at KMart, no longer. I have checked several Walmarts and my local Ace hardware. They don't handle it, if so, they don't ever restock.

Found a source last year, but had to order a case. Every can was bad. I'll keep checking WalMart and may find one that keeps its stock up.

Thanks again
