1976 Eldorado - Paint for engine

[mike@126selfstorage.com]

I pulled the 500CID EFI from my 1976 Eldorado as part of the restoration. I want to paint it the factory blue. I can not find the paint code. Can anyone help?

I recently painted mine and used KBS motor coaster.  They offered a Cadillac dark blue paint that was close to the original.   I attached a pic.  I paired it with a metallic orange for the valve covers.  I am happy with the paint, I used a foam brush, and would recommend having spares as the enamel eats through the brush quickly. 
Good luck!

Also, mine was a factory Eli engine, but I changed it to a sniper TBI unit..  I have most of the engine fuel system, and a few other spares.  If you need anything, pm me, and if I have it, it’s yours

Keep in mind the air cleaner is gold with blue stenciling on a fuel injection engine. Where to get the proper gold paint I can’t answer.

The precious part of an original 76 EFI is the ECU, have seen them
on Evil Bay for a K.   If it needs repair before you send it off, send
it here first.  Bruce Roe

Bruce, I have the ecu, but it would not fire the injectors when I removed it.  I will send you a message.  It was the reason I switched to the Sniper.
