What engine color?

I know everyone seems to paint the 235's Chevrolet blue, but I know some of the truck engines were painted a grey color. Anyone know for sure what color they used in 1958 for trucks, I know the cars were likely blue.

Re: What engine color?

Here is a couple of factory pics that I found a while back. You can see the six cylinders there too. I have no idea what they called the color of them. Don't know if these were intended for cars or trucks.

Very cool pictures, looks like both blue and grey inline 6's. Anymore nice factory pictures? Hmm with those markings on the valve cover it looks like my fire wall has factory marks like that. Thank you a bunch for posting them.
