The block came back from the machine shop with cylinders honed, and new cam bearings, all tanked and cleaned out, and bare of paint Thought I'd try mixing up some Rust-Oleum for the R16. I used some paint from a vendor before, and it was okay but kinda expensive for what you got. This provides a pretty good match to what I bought before, and is available from Home Depot. I bpught a Quart of Royal blue, 8 oz of Hunter Green, and 8oz of gloss black. This is the recipe, approximately:
Into a clean can I mixed:
20oz royal blue
8oz hunter green
between 1 and 2 oz of gloss black.
I thinned for spraying with mineral spirits (this is all old-school paint technology but I've found iot pretty durable on fence posts and such
