Rustoleum has just released a new line of engine enamels. Unfortanately Buick red is not in their lineup but the Universal red looks close. COLOR: 248962 - Universal Red
Krylon makes a nice Buick Red. I thing TA performance sells it but do a google search also. Cars Red was too Pink yech.
Race Lutz has a case of krylon Buick Red I bought 2 can this weekend. If you going to Ohio this weekend I can bring them with me. Look up Race on the board. Work it out and let me know. Scotty
http://www.globalindustrial.com/gcs/index.web Global Industrial website has the Krylon 02114 Buick Red Engine paint for $4.19 per can. Just type in Krylon Engine Paint in the search window. Randy

I just bought some 73 455 heads and manifold for my 75 lesabre convertible, they will need to be painted. The engine color for 75/76 is blue, Is this the GM blue that my local Napa parts store lists (and also Krylon paints) I can find anything listed as Buick blue. Thanks in advance.
See post 29 and beyond of the thread below. It seems 1975 was a one-year-only color: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=60626 Devon
Just for refrence, I used Dupli-Color spray can paint called Bright Aqua Metallic with item number DSGM 440. HTH. Ask and you shall receive! Many thanks!
The search is back on, I can't find any "duplicolor bright aqua marine metallic" engine enamel on the duplicolor web site or on a google search. Any suggestions on where to buy this paint?
Here is a bad phone pic of my 75 original untouched Lesabre it doesn't look like a metallic blue to me, perhaps more like the GM blue?
Bummer! You might try contacting them to see what's up: http://duplicolor.anthonythomas.com/contactus/ Devon
Just contacted them thanks for the tip, but I am thinking the engine enamel on my 75 doesn't look very metallic blue to me.
Back to the drawing board, here is the response I got from Duplicolor... "Thank you for your inquiry with Dupli-Color. We don't have a claim to have an exact match to the 1975 Buick LeSabre. I'm sorry that I could not help. The touch-up paint being recommended would not withstand the temperature of a running engine so I would not suggest using it." If you have any additional questions, please ask. Thank you, Roger Product Support Here is a pic of the color off my original 75 lesabre Should I just go with the standard GM blue? Thanks Robert
The blue engine color in the pic above, is from my red 75 Lesabre it was one of the last 50 built and used the color from 1976 My white 75 lesabre vert which I am finishing restoring is an earlier car and I would like the correct engine color I'm pulling the engine out of my blue 4dr 75 lesabre this week to use and I am still on the hunt for the correct engine color (1975 only) It looks like the above pic, some said that oldsmobile used a similar color anyone have more info?
How about this.http://www.eastwood.com/ew-ceramic-engine-paint-qt-75-on-gm-corp-bl.html color looks about the same as The Chevy engine in my fathers 77 Caprice he bought new back then if my memory serves me. Looks like you engine and maybe this.
If you open the link in my previous post you will see the correct color it is a one year only 1975 specific metallic tourqoise blue. www.seymourpaint.com/hi_tech_engine_enamels.html In the link above seymour paints shows an amc metallic blue that looks close, but it's tough to tell on a computer screen
