Does anyone know which brand of high temp blue paint I should buy for my valve covers. Also what color ford blue should I buy for a 73 Mustang and type of high temp primer?

Thanks

Josh

 
Can't go wrong with Duplicolor Hi-Temp Engine Enamel in the "Ford Corporate Blue" shade. That's pretty much the standard, but you might need to check to match the shade if the blue on your other engine components has faded over time.

But then again, I prefer Chrome with 'Edelbrock' stamped down the middle for the valve covers, with Duplicolor "Old Ford Blue" Hi-Temp Engine Enamel. :whistling:

 
Whatever brand of spray paint you decide on, pick up a couple extra cans for the rest of the engine & parts since each brand has slightly different shades. Duplicolpr, Krylon, Semour, SEM, Rustoleum all have their fan base.
