I remembered reading somewhere that Ford model A engine paint was Brewster Green and a good match so I found a vendor of old Ford model A parts and ordered the paint. I had planned on leaving my engine as is but as I was cleaning it up I found it had been repainted at some point and not very well either! Whoever repainted it went to the trouble of restriping it with yellow but not to the trouble of cleaning the dirt and grease from the engine! I now have the engine mostly repainted with the Ford Brewster Green paint with the exception of the flywheels. I am planning on leaving the outer rings of them unpainted as that is how it appears they were in Wendels Power in the Past 3. Is this correct? I am still undecided about the pinstriping. I don't know if that is original style or not. This engine has been frustrating to me as I am kind of a stickler for making it right. Hopefully we will all learn something from this thread. I am attaching a pic of my engine before the restoration.
