I called Hirsch first, they want 50.00 for 2 spray cans, shipped, tells me it is the correct OEM color though!
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. If this works I can get 6 cans (a case) of the Alpine shipped for under 50.00!

The problem is that computer monitors don't show the actual color. I have included a picture of the thermostat housing with the original color on one half (left) and Detroit Diesel Alpine Green on the other half (right), to give to a better idea of the color match. With two 53' Mercs sitting side by side, you can't tell the difference in color.
I painted my engine with it 5 years ago and it has held up beautifully. I bought mine at the local auto parts store: NAPA Auto Parts, they carry it in the store.
