Engine paint EN-66 & EN-75

[1978J10REDWHITE]

Searching for a source of the “correct” EN-75 spraybomb (spray can) , for my 1976 360 engine ~ (teal blue hue).
I found some aerosol cans at "InlineTude website”.
Yet I am Not sure of it is the proper color Hue of EN-75 or not.
If ppl know about this source product is correct Hue plus plz confirm this or direct me to where you know a proper color EN-75 or its equivalent is obtainable.

So is this image the EN-75 color, I’m not familiar with the two or the side/side difference?
I looked briefly at Seymour and didn’t see it (EN-75) , only EN-66 hue.

Just a few minutes ago found an outlet, called, https://www.kbs-coatings.com[/b]/motor-coater.html, In spray can and pint liquid, that has the 76-81 AMC blue that looks a little different then the earlier, though my eyes is unfamiliar with the difference, they want $22.XX a can.

Time to inquire and further this a bit some.

I elaborate a bit here for other onlookers Info source, possibly they get a little information to use for needs too.

Anyway thx for input here.

I think the metallic color shown above was gone by 1975, replaced by the solid teal color. My '73 CJ had the metallic paint, but my '75 CJ-6 (both bought new) had the solid teal color. The parts book shows two engine color mixes in 1976 - one metallic (poly) and one not - but those numbers do not include EN or 75 or 66. Every '76 that I recall had the solid teal color, not metallic. I could give you the paint codes if you want, and you could ask your local automotive paint supply to mix that color. This would be something of a leap on your behalf, because once it's mixed you'll have to pay for it, regardless of how it turns out.

Found the Motor Coater swatches you meant to link above, but those look nothing like the colors I remember.

Another comment - every engine I've seen painted in that metallic color is very much shinier and richer than the actual engine colors I remember. I expect the modern paint is a lot shinier and contains way more flake than the engine paint AMC used, and the application in the day was slap-dash compared to what owners do with their engines.

Located a website “online tubing” seems to have the more teal blue non-metallic spray can.
I ‘ll call tomorrow and inquire and possibly try their version and see what It looks like.

Seymour no longer makes the color (you want en75). If you want that exact color, you will have to have it custom made.

But you can probably find a very close match by ordering a swatch from one of the various rattle can companies.

The paint at Online Tube looks like the right color on the painted card they show. The year-range is totally wrong, and the cap color looks metallic (which is also wrong). Might be correct anyway.

The 225 V6 CJ guys use a Detroit Diesel color "Alpine Green" that's sort of a turquoise. http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.ph ... 216/page-8 Might be ok if you don't need perfection.

It was the EN-66 which is all Seymour has in the Hi Tech enamel engine paint

This is a picture from a CJ-5 forum of the engine of a very well preserved 1972 CJ-5.



You can see how different it is from the paint now sold as this color (see above).
