I'm looking for ideas for engine paint on my military Mustang project, its a big block 460. I drove HMMWVs' in the Army and if I recall correctly the engine wasn't painted at all.

What vehicles had engines that were painted and what colors did the military use? I think I've seen some Cummings yellow engines. I was considering using POR15's Austin Healey Green, which is a olive green color.

Thanks,
Eric

An OD in the shade of your choice; 383 green, kahki, or ?, would be in keeping with a lot of MVs. If the engine's covered it's probably gonna be black, but if exposed during operation or maintenance in the field the tendency is to give it a coat of 383 green too.
Kinda hard to work camouflage around a big patch of Cat yellow.

Exterior is going to be 383, the engine bay is going to be Zinc Chromate.
Here are a few pics of the Autsin Healey green.

Here is what I did for the big block Chevy in my M715. Its Ford gray:

I used Krylon camo green.

How well does that hold up to the heat? I'm running a Ford big block 460.

Holds up fine. Doesn't work on the exhaust manifolds, though.
