Does anyone know the specific colors used on the engine (silver) and the vdrive (blue) for a 1991 excel? I need to pull the engine on my boat and want to touch a few things up. Figured this was the time since I am going to be going through all this hassle. Needs to be correct stuff because I don't want to redo everything. Thanks!

Look at skidim under maintenance - paint,it says the original has been discontinued,but the one they have has been mixed to match. As to the drive why not call Walter and ask?

Just post something about Walters products and Don will appear in a few weeks to spread some propaganda.

If I had to guess at it, I would say its a dark Ford Blue with not much gloss. I bet you could find something pretty close at Tractor Supply.

I called Walter and the tech guy said Rust-o-leum paint.. He "didn't know the color" Not much help!

Interesting question. I just repainted the 351 in my 1991 Excel and I found that the POR-15 "Aluminum" color matched it almost perfectly. Can't help on the V-Drive, since mine is gloss black. Good luck, and I'd love to hear if you find anything out.

The color for the V-drvie I found that matched perfectly is "old Ford Blue". Ironically based on the cap of the can I would have never have bought it- but once I sprayed it- it was about exact! I used VHT engine paint- very happy with the results. |

Used VHT "SP995 Aluminum Cast" Engine paint and again a great match. |
