    OEM Paint

    I used a company that was actually named OEM. I'll try to find info on it. I was expensive!
    My original 250 six in my truck was a green like the 327. I bought a can of Alpine Green Dupli Color, which is close, and sprayed some of it and some of the other on a card and asked 8 guys to tell me which was which. One of the guys was our mechanic. He picked the OEM right away, and said he had a new 327 at one time an knew that was it. I can send you pics of my motor if that helps.
