Engine colour again

Post by KEVINABR »

Hi all sorry about this thread on engine colour but having cleaned off my engine ready for paint i have discovered Green paint in all the hard to get at areas, now this engine was rebuilt in the Bugatti factory so would they have sprayed it as its not od.
On closer inspection on my other gmc engine that too has the same shade of green, there numbers being only a few hundred apart, but this one was rebuilt in Holland. Please help am i going mad???

The factory engine color is not OD
It is " semi gloss wet olive."
TM-9 paints has a "30 cal ammo can" semi gloss green that is darn close
