Color code for blue-ish green valve covers

Featured Replies

I would like to repaint the valve covers in the original color, does anyone have a color code for it?

No ... but the Holts Dupli-Color Auto Spray DSH15 - Holden Marina Blue or the GM / Pontiac Blue colour in the VHT range are a close match ...

Thanks but I thought the valve covers where more greenish than the air filter box?

Not really ...

 

I'm pretty sure they all came out of the factory with same colour, it's more likely that they have faded over time, with heat & oil stains etc ... ;)

 

Add: I'd check that as it may only apply for Australian models, some later models here did have black covers ... B)

 

Can you Post up a pic of yours to confirm ... ?

 

Add : I also recall something about there being variations in cover colours for different capacity / type engines ... :ph34r:  

 

Cheers, Bantum ...

There'sone that has the darker greenish valve covers. Iv'e seen that darker color in them couple of times. In EA71 I have the light blue ones in right now and that seems to be pretty normal color for them around here.

I think chrysler turquoise is pretty close to the color of those valve covers:
