Is there a color code or other info on the green paint used on the 226 6 cylinder engine.

Try this site:

There is a dropdown menu for size/color - select Kaiser Green

Try Gary Mucanik in St. Louis (he is in the KFOCI I believe) as he has mixed this paint for years.

If you're looking for the green used on 51-5 cars, the paint Bill Hirsch sells is incorrect. He markets it as correct, however, it's only right for the 49-50 cars with the 2bbl carburetor. Gary Michanek will have the right color.

Thanks for the lead to Gary Michanek. The car is a 53 manhatten. I was not able to find him in the members list. Does anyone have a contact number or email address. Thanks again for the lead.

Sorry to be dense, but how do I contact these two leads. I don't find them in the members list. Tried to google them with no luck. What am I missing?
