Hello All,
I am about to start the mechanical portion of my restoration (body and interior are all done). While I have the engine out I wanted to paint it. I am looking for places in the lower mainland that would carry engine enamel paint in duck egg blue. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

Re: Engine Paint
Lordco can mix paints to what ever colour you want. You could also call White and Peters.

Re: Engine Paint
Depending on how picky you are for matching exactly, I heard that Torque n Teal is not too far off Duck Egg Blue and is available off the shelf.

Re: Engine Paint
Most machine shops should have the common colors of engine paint. I found Detroit diesel green for mine

It's a 72 Series 3. Ideally looking for a factory match.ANDYD wrote: Sun Oct 18, 2020 4:14 pm Depending on how picky you are for matching exactly, I heard that Torque n Teal is not too far off Duck Egg Blue and is available off the shelf.

Re: Engine Paint
As Andy already asked What year is your Landrover. The series one engines were painted "duck egg blue " aka sky blue if they had an army rebuild. I have seen several civilian Landrovers with army engines over the years including series two's and two-a's. The paint code for this is BSC British Standard Colour, 381-c 101 Sky Blue . I am not a paint guy but maybe a professional would find this helpful.
