Title: 1966 K Code correct paint finish for engine bay
Post by: Gastill on April 20, 2014, 07:08:12 pm

Hi there, so my 1st time here. I have a 66 K Code fastback and have started a tidy up of the engine bay. My question is simply this, what is the correct original black paint type for the engine bay.  It seems to be a satin finish but some small areas that are matt finish. Any advise welcome. Thanks Greg

Contact Sean at BossKraft(advert on sidebar to the right). He is a concourse judge and knows all the details.
Cheers, Ron B

Black 2 pack with flat clear will give it the correct look.

If your going for the Concours look and already have the factory paints within the engine bay, you'll need to replicate these. 

Also the engine color is Ford Chassis black.

64.5-65 engine block colour is black, however the rocker covers & air cleaner are different depending on the engine size.
