Color of Buick Motor

[Bruce Poage]

Building '66 Buick Wildcat strictly out of box. The motor is supposedly 401 CI. Would the motor color have been a blueish-green? If so how would you suggest I replicate this color? Thanks and enjoy this day of thanks.

Buick used a blue/breen color. Here is a link to a rattle can. Kind of spendy though.

You may try asking at your local auto parts. I am sure someone in your area will have something similar. Check for a local Buick Club Chapter also.
