thanks for the info, but your info is opposite of my info...frustrating, but not a big deal, thanks for the reply, but still leaves me scratching my head...lol I did some further investigation and sanded on one of the valve covers, discovered that it has been over sprayed blue. the original color underneath appears to possibly be the alpine green? almost a turquoise color?? I think I'm just going alpine green...?
