[Tigers] Engine Paint Colors - again

[Joel Martin]

Dave/Ron
I am leaning towards following the advice found in the Ford Engine
colors guide link supplied.
With a B19KC motor designation for a 1966 MK 1A,
this guide indicates for 1966 - 1968 Corporate Ford Blue or Duplicolor DE 1621
(Old Ford Blue).

    BON just indicates 'Old Ford Dark Blue'.  The guide use
verbage Old Ford Blue DE1601 for 63-65, Corporate Ford Blue DE 1621 (Old Ford
Blue) for 1966-1968 and Ford Blue DE 1606 (Ford Dark Blue) for 1969-1981. 
None of the DE descriptions uses "all" the verbage from BON of 'Old Ford Dark
Blue'.

Not the low road (lighter DE1601) or the high/darker road DE1606 but
straight down the middle - DE1621 based on the year 1966 from the Ford Engine
Colors guide and BON (Guess) that B382000601 to end is Old Ford Dark Blue -
what ever that is based on Duplicolor descriptions.

    I wish I could help here.  I
don't have the information needed to
confirm the correct shade of Blue.
Tod
Brown sent me a picture of the original blue engine paint on his car and
he
states that DE 1606 matches.  I have also seen pictures that look like
medium
blue and some pictures look even lighter.

    The problem is I do not have
any original B19KC blue in hand to
compare.  I made a paint stick with DE
1601, the lighter shade, and DE 1621,
medium shade, but it is impossible to
compare my paint stick to a picture;
way too many variables.

This
is the best site I have found that at least shows the 3 shades of blue
together.  I have to shine a light on my paint stick to come close to the
shades represented on that page.

I wish I had a better answer.  This is a
case where Tiger owners with B19KC
engines painted blue needed to check the
shade of blue on their engines.
It is also possible that the 289 engines in
the MK II are painted a
different shade of blue. I simply can not make that
determination.

now I'm cinfused. 
Ron Fraser...can you help out.

My Tiger B382002668 was
built is Dec 1996.. it has the 18KC engine with Rev
9.  I'm about to paint it
in a few weeks.  I asuumed from the earlier
discussion it should be DE 1606. 
I'm covering was is a very dark blue.
Since my car is near the end of MK IA,
did Sunbeam use DE1606 oer perhaps DE
1601.  My question is:  Is DE 1601 the
lig
