I didn't see any turquoise engine paint, but I emailed the Seller.
MP paint has a traditionally high rate of non-working cans; BTDT many times.
So if you're buying some, get extra !

Thanks for the heads-up !

Looks like turquoise on the upper right of the rack!

Some ebay flippers will stock up. Looks like $20-$25 is the norm.

So long as the cans are not too old I think you'd be okay. Biggest gripes for me with this paint years ago was the color hue varies from can to can, and some nozzles dripped and spit more than they sprayed. If I needed one I always bought an extra as a backup.

If you use this paint always save one can for the final topcoat layer so it all matches up. Paint parts individually with different cans and watch out.

Wow, i just looked on ebay for Mopar spray paint, and was shocked at the prices, vendors want to get for a can of spray paint. Your right, $22.00 - $25.00 + is the asking prices.
I couldn't believe it. Holy S*#t. Is it worth it for me to buy lots of different colors, and try and sell them, on these car related web sites? I'm not a seller on ebay, of it would have to be here on this site, and the A, B, E, bodies sites?

Re: buy and resell at profit, you need to factor in the percentage of dissatisfied customers likely to demand a refund due to intrinsic spray issues of MP paint. As others have noted MP spray cans are hit-or-miss...

Yep, sounds like overall crap paint and a buck-fity is about the right price. I do know mopar dumps and discontinues things often and there are some killer deals from the bulk flippers. Even some of the dealerships who sell on ebay are in the game, I bought six rims new in the mopar boxes for $600 shipped from a bulk seller and quirk parts (mopar dealership) is still getting $1500 for 4. I told my wife I should buy about 3 sets at $400 per set but I didnt... would of been an easy 2x today.

i have been told the dupli-color #DE1618 detroit diesel alpine green is a somewhat close match to the turquoise, but it is $10-12.00 a can locally.
anyone use it to offer an opinion ?

I buy a can of anything that looks close, and...nope. Too green.
I know a guy with a Charger restored by Le Hodges, and they got the engine color too green, so he might be in luck with DE1618...

are you saying the restored engine was too green, or the DE1618 is too green ?
i know it's not the "correct" shade, but it's closer than the blue.
perhaps spraying over a dark primer would tone it down some ?

Both. In any case, I doubt a primer color would pull the engine color much: maybe lighter or darker, but not moving it more blue.
Look at a color wheel and it's easier to see.
The real answer is just to get the right color and apply by spraygun - sure seems the aerosol method is done & gone.
Even the resto aerosol paints are "off".

If you need auto paint, that's good. He does not have engine paint. he's an hour from me. Good deal for those that need it.

you are correct, the right color mixed and sprayed by an automotive gun is the correct way to really paint anything.
however, i'm not a "paint guy", so spray bombs are my only reasonable choice.
if i had have had the ability to build a larger shop, or a separate one to be able to do body work many, many years ago, i would have done so.
but now at my age, that ain't gonna happen..........
