paulbrook Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi folks I am soon to start tidying up the engine to go in my 1929 AC. Can anyone tell me what the color of the cylinder block and heads should be? From what little paint remains it seems to be a very dark gray, but that could have been daubed on anytime in the last 80 years or so. Also there is evidence of silver paint on the aluminium castings - but my assumption is that they were left as bare metal. Any help would be much appreciated and I will get some pictures and post them up here as work progresses.

paulbrook Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Excellent - many thanks! Looks like the gray I have already is original and I can match it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46736-1929-ac-engine-color/#findComment-344947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
