Your posting probably should have been in the 1929-32 forum. At any rate, for the correct engine paint for your 1931 contact the Filling Station in Lebanon, Oregon. Here is their web site: http://www.fillingstation.com

You bet! And, you will find that their paint is the correct color, it is also top quality and the paint sprays like a dream.

Hey JunkYardDogJunkYardDog, a question. Do you know if the paint the Filling Station sells is NOS or is it a fresh mix? why I asked is that before it is dry for months it smells like the old paint did, I had a quart of Very old engine paint an uncle in Mo. gave me that smelled just like the Filling Station stuff, and is exactly the same color.

Macky Wacky: The paint that the Filling Station sells is fresh paint. They have it mixed and canned for resale. The Filling Station used a large array of new old stock engine parts and then had the new paint color matched.

No Bill, REALLY old paint, mostly oil based enamels...the newer paints smell differently. I like the old paints better, but they smell bad, know what I mean?

Guys, besides drifting off the subject, it really does not apply to 58-60 Chevys, so off to the proper place.
