It is good paint and correct color. I have never used Mac's, but the original green is pretty dark.

I bought a quart from somewhere, it looked black, I called and they said it was correct, once I painted some on a head, the Ford correct green appeared, it does indeed look black in the can.

Pioneer Antique Ford Green was used on my 38. Spray cans. Looks good. Hirsch looks nice and might try that next time.

If you want to use a rattle-can, Snyders in Ohio is the most accurate in color I've seen.

I also am painting a 39 ford truck engine. Does anyone have an actual paint code for dupont,ppg anything i can reference to for the color?

I used Hirsch Model A paint brushed on the Fairbanks-Morse in the picture. It took two coats but works great.

Also have used Snyder's rattle cans and it works well, too. The Hirsch has a higher gloss.
