Does anyone know where to get the green paint to paint our green blocks? I seem to recall Volvo Penta's having a similar, if not the same color. I want to keep mine original, I don't want to go to a different color.

Oh come on Mike... I think my Cat yellow is pretty catchy myself!

Really though, after cleaning up my block before painting it, I thought the green was really close to Detroit diesel green, you should be able to source that pretty easily.

I know, but whever I have sold a D24 in the past with a differently painted block, I get stupid questions like: "Why is the block painted red?" I want to keep this one original. I am going to build my 244 engine I think. It needs to be bored. Has some deep scoring in #2 at the 8:30 and 3:30 position (wrist pin damage?) I am also getting a 760 D24T/M46 as well that needs to be built.
