LeoneTurbo Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 I would like to repaint the valve covers in the original color, does anyone have a color code for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantum Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 (edited) 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 ...

LeoneTurbo Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks but I thought the valve covers where more greenish than the air filter box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bantum Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) 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 ... 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 ... Cheers, Bantum ...

LeoneTurbo Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I also have an EA71 with black valve covers, those I would like to respray in the earlier color... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-tombba- Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoneTurbo Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 That's the color I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-tombba- Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think chrysler turquoise is pretty close to the color of those valve covers: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
