Can anyone give the correct Delstar acrylic enamel formula for 65 engine turquoise, MP rattle can is too blue. Had some mixed using valve cover as sample, it does not have enough green in my opinion. Help.

Have you tried the POR 15 paint? Even Eastwood has most of the old colors available. Or you can call Totally Auto and get rattle cans from them.

Using a used valve cover for a sample will end up with a incorrect shade. The original turquoise, (blue) tents to change shades after several heat cycles.
The closest to original i've found is either Totally auto or Dupli color. The POR15 shade is the furthest from original.

Don't know how 'exact' this is but it's as close as I could get. It's a 2 part epoxy - a friend had a gallon mixed and I split it with him:

I used Dupli-Color Ceramic Engine Paint (DE-1619) Chrysler Green comes in a rattle can. Looks real good on my 62, doesn't have that blueish hue.
