I have a 1937 60 hp engine I want to paint. Maybe someone could tell me what color green it is. Enamel? Its a truck engine.

The 1937 Ford restoration book states on page 8-12: "Cast iron parts were painted green motor block Pyroxin lacquer.The stamped steel parts were black Japan enamel. Cast aluminum part were left natural". The 37 book and the 1939 book are excellent reference manuals as I am sure are the other years,I would think these should be added to any restoration facilites library,especially in a teaching or training shop.
