Does anyone know of a seller of the light green  PCM engine paint from the 1980's?  I have to pull my motor and would like to refresh the paint while it's out.  I know that I can pull a valve cover and have it matched.  I was just hoping someone made have already formulated the correct original color.  Thanks-

It isn't/wasn't silver?

Or could you mean an early 70's Waukesha/PCM engine like the one in the picture, since like Mourning Wood mentioned the 80's engines were silver?

Those early 70's  engines weren't all green, just the exhaust manifolds and valve covers and the rest was a dull blue

There was also a darker green in the mid 70's on the exhaust manifolds only, the picture below is a dull blue 76 PCM engine



Then in the late 70's and through the 80's, a silver engine with black exhaust manifolds.

This is assuming we're talking PCM Ford engines

My 89 BBC is also a silver block with black exhaust manifolds and risers
