I am going to paint my intake and valve cover, They are originally blue.
I cannot find the Chrysler blue to save my life ,what would be a good color to paint it?

Just go on ebay and type out "mopar blue paint". The old style looking cans are the best. Can you get off brand stuff here but I don't know how picky you are or how close to the real mopar blue it is.

Thanks ESP47,
I will exhaust the stores around my area ,and then go online, The shipping kills you :( I am not relly picky , doesn't have to be blue , just want something that will look good. I was tempted to get a flat aluminum color, which would look good on the intake ,but not so much on the valve cover( I don't think).It is not going to be a show truck or anything, just figured since it is off , why not paint them.
Thanks
Dave

Krylon, Plasti-Kote, VHT, Martin-Senour (NAPA) and Dupli-Color all have Chrysler Blue in their engine spray paint lines.
