Mil Spec Rebuilt Engine Colour
There may have been different specs during WWII but all my references and many RCEME oldtimers have told me that the DND spec for painting rebuilt engines (usually done by contractors but sometimes inhouse) is "light" or "industrial" grey. Sure makes spotting leaks easier!
