Chevy Engine Blue - which color?
I hit the auto paint store today for some rattle cans of Dupli-Color high heat engine enamel paint. They had two different Blue colors for Chevy engines. Which one is the correct color for a 78? And were the valve covers and block two different Blue colors?
These were my choices -
DE 1608 General Motors Blue
DE 1609 Chevrolet Blue

The Year One web site says 78-82 were all painted GM Corperate Blue (1608) before that, they were Orange. I beleive the Chevy blue 1609 was the old Blue Flame 6 from the 50's.
