Who sells a correct looking Turquoise engine paint? Any pics? The stuff Mopar Performance makes right now just screams emissions corporate blue.

This will sound weird, but go to your nearest NAPA or some other auto chain store, and get Detroit Diesel green, in a rattle can. You will be shocked and amazed. Matched almost perfectly.

Actually the Napa Diesel Green is a lighter shade of Turquoise with more green than original, it doesnt look bad but its no match to original when compared, not even close. Frank Badelson sells the best match Ive seen witbout doing a custom match.

CR8, is that for a quart? Which DuPont product?
I thought the MP crap was spendy @ $12.00/can, 'til I saw the Hirsch (who makes good stuff) is $17.00/can...

Well this is why I'm asking. I was at Levines (which is a small, local chain) and saw a can of paint with a top that looked like a dead match. Obviously it wouldn't be the same as the top, but it is close. The brand is Seymour, it is a high temp paint. The color was Detroit Diesel Green. I sprayed it on some stuff, it looks decent but its not perfect. WAY better than the Mopar stuff. Just wondering what else is out there.
