61 235 paint color
We are doing a 61 235 for a customer and he wants it painted back to original color. None of our Motors Manuesl show paint color, does someone happen to know?
Thanks, John

Re: 61 235 paint color
I am NO expert on originality, OK???? From what Ive seen on here, its probably a lite blue-green...almost seafoam color. I have also seen grey on the older V8's. Thats probably what you are going to be looking to paint it. Good luck.

Re: 61 235 paint color
My vote is blue
Was it still a 235 in that year or a 230? Last edited by ol Curt; 04-17-2009 at 07:12 PM. |

Re: 61 235 paint color
Here is a link to a list....but knowing that my 66 is a 250 and no 250 is shown, I'm not sure of the extent of the accuracy.

Re: 61 235 paint color
There is no exact engine color made for the Chevy 6, but the duplicolor DE1609 (engine paint)seems to be the closest match. The 235,230 and 250 were all painted the same color blue from 60-66.Here is an original paint 230-250 cover.
