Is that color close? I like to use the POR 15 enamel and this to me loss to be the closest shade.

Synchro 99, I have seen a lot of model A engines here and all but 1 were some variation of engine green. The exception was grey. The owner maintained that was the correct colour and who was going to argue, he judged at MARC and MAFCA meets.

Am about to install an overhauled engine but need to paint it first. I am aware that Ford Engine Green is the correct colour but am unable to find an equivalent colour in Australia. We are unable to import paint due to flight safety restrictions.
Any equivalent colour suggestions available in Australia would be appreciated.

Maybe someone could mail you a dried sample so you could try to get the color matched...
 
I have looked at a lot of Model A Ford engines in the last 50 years and haven't seen two that were the same. One of them was correct, I guess! Paint that is!
 
"The color of Ford engine green was
neither bright nor dark. It did, however, vary in shade
from engine to engine. All parts painted Ford engine
green should match."
 
Then there is that old story, perhaps apocryphal, that Ford Engine Green varied slightly from day to day because the painters would dump the small lots of leftover body paint into the engine paint tank at the end of a shift if there were no work orders for that particular color for the next shift. Ford never threw anything away if it could be extended for some other use.
