Ford V8 Engine Color? Ford Gearbox Color?

[Jacques Reed]

Hi Ken,

Well I gave it a cut as shown in the area above the chip.

Not any appreciable change in colour. A fair bit of green and brownish colour came out in the rag.

The patch I cut with cutting compound was pretty sparsely painted to begin with too.

The new paint is definitely darker.

I would still say the original colour has just changed a bit with age, heat, grease, mud, and cleaning with kero.
Cheers,
