Unfortunately, the problem has been ongoing for a long time. Nobody reproduces the correct engine colors for '63-'66 pickups yet. You can get close, but they are not dead on. The engine paint color application chart has been on here before, it is not accurate in many cases. Very low mileage original trucks are our best source for correct colors, however you must factor in discoloration effects from heat, the environment, steam cleaning and time. A new update on 292-327 green. It appears some 60's Buicks used the same color. They are having the same problem matching engine paint as well.
