Superbird McMonte Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I saw someone post pictures of a 1969 Charger with then engine painted this color. Regrettably, I didn’t write down his name. But it was the best representation of MOPAR engine blue I had seen yet. It’s Tamiya TS-41 Now I have to build a couple more Chargers!?

If you want correct engine paint go to a Mopar dealer and order a bomb of it..One bomb will last you a lidetime..BTW the bottom of the bellhousing is the same color as the rest..

1972coronet Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Looks like a close match to Chrysler Engine Turquoise (last used in the 1968 model year ) . There's at least two different shades of Chrysler Engine Blue ( 1971 & earlier ; 1972 & later , with late-production 1971 340's being painted the 1972 & up shade ) . Cool discovery !

GM automatic maybe. That’s what happens when late night modeling I guess! Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TS-41 is what I used on mine with just a touch of white added. The spray bomb from Mopar sounds like a deal if you do a lot of Mopars.

RichCostello Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I use a Krylon color called Bahama Sea for Chrysler engine blue. Looks dead on to me, and it's cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inspection cover is black just like the one in his pic. And the trans pan on an auto is steel, different color from the aluminum case.
