Engine Paint Color Edsel E475
I'm wondering what paint is closest to the factory green & off white engine paint to the factory colors on an E475?

Re: Engine Paint Color question
Bill Hirsch automotive supplies has Edsel green in high temp. enamel.  It's available in quarts.  The off-white  is available in the Rust-oleum brand or you can use Ford wimbelton white.  You may want to visit/join either of the two Edsel chat sites.  They are bothe on yahoo groups; edselmail and edsel restoration and preservation.  Good luck with your car!!

Re: Engine Paint Color question
Thanks! I've been trying to find that out, all I've found is the Porsche green on the edsel.com site. I joined the yahoo groups but there doesn't seem to be any real organization, I wish there was an actual edsel forum.

I used the Porsche Green and had the local paint shop put it in rattle cans.  Here's a link to the picture of the Edsel 410 that was painted with that particular paint.  Still holding up well at this point with over 6K miles on the engine.
