Don't see any red for 1949 cars, just bronze https://cgfordparts.com/ufolder/show...2&g=539&t=2995

49 car engines were painted blue same as 48’s. Some will say that the late 49’s were painted bronze like the 50/51’s.

Hirschauto.com is the site that will provide the correct quality engine paint.

Use there 48 engine paint for the correct color

Hope this helps,

Tom

Thanks Tom I like the blue better and will go that way. Need to paint the 49 and get some green to touch up the 35. I will wait until spring, don’t want to order paint in freezing weather.
