Title: Right Engine block and Transmission color
Post by: checker on August 02, 2017, 04:55:06 PM
Guys, I know this topic has been covered many times but my case is a bit of an enigma.

My 51 Kaiser has the engine block and transmission in light green color.
I've read that 51 are supposed to be darker green, nowhere I can see a bit of a darker green underneeth the light green or where the paint is gone.
 ???
Is there a possibility of lighter green powerplant in early 51's ?
Was it re-painted the wrong color later-on ? (in such a case, they must have had the powerplant assembly out to be able to provide this type of overall coverage)

Whatever the case, what color should I repaint it to respect originality ? What is the exact green color ?

The dark green paint probably flaked off long ago. All 51 Kaiser engines were factory painted dark green.
