Olds guys!

Howdy. I hang out among the Chevy and Pontiac guys mostly, but my shop builds any type of engine.

I have a 350 Olds to do, for a '68 Cutlass. The original engine color is gold. My regular sources for paint don't list the Oldsmolbile Gold. PlastiKote and Duplicolor both offer a "Universal Gold", but this one needs to be right.

Any pointers to where I can get the correct color would be a great help! I would gladly trade some engine "secrets" for this information! This isn't my first Olds, just the first late '60s restoration in a long time. Did a '79 Hurst Olds 350 not too long ago. It was "Corporate Blue", though.

Is there an IBM guy named Ed out here? (used to live in Tucson, moved to Colorado last I heard)

Jim, check Eastwood, I think I saw that paint color in their catalogue. Let me know if not, I may have other sources we use in our shop, Shep

I wonder if Mondello (http://www.mondellotwister.com/) may have something.
