GM blue or Chevy blue?
Happy New Year Everyone!
Can anyone tell me the difference in Duplicolor GM blue vs. Chevy blue, and are either of these what I should be painting my engine with? I have a 1980 L48? In testing, the GM blue looks right to me.
Thanks,
Eric

Took this from the NCRS discussion about an "82".
The GM part number for the blue engine enamel is GM #12346300.
You can also find this paint in most auto parts stores, although not GM-branded. It will be identified as "GM Corporate Blue Engine Enamel", "Chevrolet Blue Engine Enamel", or some similar description. Understand, though, that NO paint, regardless of where you get it and of whatever brand, is going to exactly match the paint currently on the engine. For one thing, the paint on the engine has been subject to 25 years of aging and deterioration due to heat.
