Hi all
I am looking to touch up the paint on the in in my 1980 351 PCM? Anyone know what color it is supposed to be (it appears a pale green). (I have searched a couple times but haven't seen anyone post on this). ------------- 1980 SN - don't worry dear, I may have $10+K into this project boat but I can easily sell it for $5k 2000/2001 Glen-L 'Squirt' 2006 Malibu LSV |

Well maybe it is my color interpretation as it is the same color I have seen in like year boats. Trying to figure out how to post a few pictures. ------------- 1980 SN - don't worry dear, I may have $10+K into this project boat but I can easily sell it for $5k 2000/2001 Glen-L 'Squirt' 2006 Malibu LSV |

Here are a couple photos of the engine and what I am calling green (albeit very pale green).

To me, it looks silver like all of the PCM's of that era!  ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

hmmm well, maybe my first posts just proved I am color blind like my wife has been telling me for years. I am going to haul the family out to have a look once their out of bed! 
(oh, and so what color silver is it then?) In the meantime I'm going out in the garage to continue cutting the floor out. ------------- 1980 SN - don't worry dear, I may have $10+K into this project boat but I can easily sell it for $5k 2000/2001 Glen-L 'Squirt' 2006 Malibu LSV |

Yes I have had my eyes checked - but my wife and I do have a 'discussion' about a couple shirts she calls grey and I call green so maybe its time to concede. (PS - still looks green to me)
As for the boat - I am refurbishing it - starting with taking out the floor and checking how things are. Have the port side and seating area out so far. Just going to tackle the bow area this AM. Didn't find much water until the battery box area - seems the routing of the air intakes down to the keel and then up around the battery box leaves no where for the water to go but to leak into the foam in that area. ------------- 1980 SN - don't worry dear, I may have $10+K into this project boat but I can easily sell it for $5k 2000/2001 Glen-L 'Squirt' 2006 Malibu LSV |

SkiDIM used to carry the PCM silver paint. Looks like it is NLA, but they have had some more mixed? They also reference Plastikote 305... you may want to give that a try and see how it matches.

Thanks - I was planning to call them (skidim) today to see if they have it. (And the wife and kids agreed it was silver too - so maybe I need my eyes checked after all) ------------- 1980 SN - don't worry dear, I may have $10+K into this project boat but I can easily sell it for $5k 2000/2001 Glen-L 'Squirt' 2006 Malibu LSV |
