Turquoise!
Orange engines in 68 and older Mopars just look weird to me.
And yes, the Mopar Performance spray bombs match the original turquoise very nicely. I matched it to several original engines I have and it's right on.

When is the last time you guys bought the Mopar stuff? Last time I bought it it looked very blue to me, almost like the corporate blue (it clearly wasn't, although it did have a blue cap).

I did a lot of research when I bought out my line of engine paints and the MP turquoise was way off. As was said too blue. There are no real close matches in a commercially available spray bomb. Just an FYI.

Okay, it has been 4-5 years since I've used the mopar turquoise. At least back then it was spot on and decidely different than the corporate blue. If its changed since then, then thats a drag.

Painted with duplicolor Alpine Green. Detroit Diesel color. Pretty good match.

Ironically, if I do go turquoise, the closest paint I have found is a shade of Alpine Green (Detroit Diesel Green) that a local parts store sells. It actually looks pretty close to me. It's a strange brand though I'll have to look at the can when I get home.
