webdawg1 Posted September 27, 2004 Share #15 Posted September 27, 2004 I found a really good "Reference" picture on eBay that shows the inside of an aircleaner that appears to be pristine and untouched on the inside. I would venture to say that this is the color that you are looking for.webdawg1Air Breather (Reference).bmp Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13225-78-280z-oem-air-filter-housing/?page=2#findComment-96523 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Laury Posted September 28, 2004 Share #20 Posted September 28, 2004 even more info. Take a look at the color for the "1971 - March 15, 1973Pontiac V8" on this page ponitac engine colors Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13225-78-280z-oem-air-filter-housing/?page=2#findComment-96676 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmark Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share #21 Posted September 28, 2004 Dang. That's alot of info. I am surprised no one has done this for the 240-280Z's engine bay. You know engine block, air box etc. I am sure the knowledge is here. I just haven't found it in one spot.

webdawg1 Posted September 28, 2004 Share #22 Posted September 28, 2004 Did some searching on some of the other Z websites and found a "Dupont" brand Mix-Your-Own-Paint formula. Hope it helps...webdawg1Subject: Z engine paint (Turquoise)(TURQUOISE) engine paint used on early Zs. Find a Dupont Dealer and ask them to mix up a quart (5 or more engines) [or split it in half for a pint] of Dupont "Chroma 1" paint. Be sure and buy the "Chroma 1" catalyst and reducer also.

Victor Laury Posted September 28, 2004 Share #23 Posted September 28, 2004 That Turquoise engine color is much darker than the air box color. I bought a can of the Duplicolor DE1610 and partailly painted my 1970 L521 air cleaner. Here's a Photo!color comparision It's close. The stock is a little grayer? greener?What do you think? Will it do? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13225-78-280z-oem-air-filter-housing/?page=2#findComment-96721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmark Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share #24 Posted September 28, 2004 It's close. Maybe the OEM is a little grayer..... Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/13225-78-280z-oem-air-filter-housing/?page=2#findComment-96728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
