L-48 engine colour?
What colour is the engine? I wanted to repaint the engine block and I cant find the exact colour. I did go to a canadian tire and picked up this spray can ( GM engine blue) and it was really a baby blue? I thought it was like a green/blue combination. does anyone know?
thanks

No, that's not right.
The correct color is Plasticote GM Chevrolet Blue #201. Corporate Blue is #221. I found out the hard way by painting my engine #221 only to realize that the original color is #201. So, repainted it the right color and never regretted it. The difference is subtle, until you compare the two side by side. Corporate blue is lighter in hue.
Yes, they can be had at NAPA or other auto parts stores.
