Does anyone know how to get matching engine paint for a 83 / 84 PCM 351 for my 84 2001? Its a gold tinted silver color. I just want to touch up and therefore want a close match. Perfection is not my goal. I bought a can of "Cast coat aluminum" from the auto parts store which had a sort of silver gold color cap. not even close, its a silver colored paint.

thanks
Doug

Doug,
I think it was a plain silver. I believe the gold tent comes from age and heat.

Thanks for the reply, I learned that you are correct about that. Fred at New England Correct Craft in Rochester NH set me straight. Thank you!

The auto parts store silver metallic is close enough. That's what is on my 351.

Keep trying, I've seen plenty of these gold 82-84 engines.
