I used Eastwood`s TQ spray cans about 15 years ago, nice colour. I have seen some of the recent brush on paint, and agree that it is too green.
Also don’t think Mopar’s spray cans are as close as the ones in the early 90`S.

Kinda like Detroit Diesel green?
I'll take some.
I usually use MP spray but this time I was touching up the front of the motor, hence the brush-on. MP spray nice color. Have never tried Eastwood spray.

So it's REAL green, by golly.

It’s supposed to have a green like hue to it. Most rattle cans have way too much blue.

I've been gone for awhile since I finally began to work on my RR last summer. Dribs and drabs, but at least slow progress. Anyway, I have a 383 in a 68 Roadrunner and I got some Chrysler Blue and it is by far closer to my block and 727 transmission than Vintage Chromoly's Turquoise. I'm just curious, which is the authentic color for my RR please? I always assumed my lower block and transmission were original, but now I wonder? Dupli-Color paint tiles below. Did Chrysler use the blue in 1968?
