eddeere Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 After removing most of the asphalt and grease I think the original paint may have been a gray-green or aqua. I thought it should be gray like the valve cover. Does anyone know the correct color and code. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j hancock Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Kirker Paint was the OE supplier to Mack. Maybe see if there is a old time Kirker dealer that still may have a code?Some folks have used Dupli Color rattle can Detroit Diesel Alpine Green DE-1618. Not saying it is right but it sort of leans in the right direction.... 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 painted my Mack motor Detroit green, not a fan but its clean and the closest and cheapest I could find at the time. isn't too oily yet with a lil over 8000 miles on it since the rattle can rebuild... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is nice whenever you do buy a spray can of Alpine Green the counter guy will usually give you a quart of motor oil out of sympathy. 5 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
