Red or Detroit diesel green?
 
Which color you folks think? Red or detroit diesel green. The green would be pretty interesting.

I would go with green. Mid life crisis red is way over done. Bob

Another vote for green here. I like factory correct colors mostly, but it's not like Crustine's going for a restoration. I'd like to see what the green looks like.

Green looks great TJ and I'd go with dark gray for manifolds.

Thanks! I was looking at some exhaust manifold paint and like that old cast iron gray look. I am kind of going for a detroit diesel look...green engine and black pulleys...even through most detroits were just Green. lol I think the black will be nice for the pulleys. I did find Gold manifold paint. :ahhhh: Guy paint his magnum exhaust manifolds gold on his red 478 and it didn't turn out to bad! haha Course mine will be green so iron gray it is.

It's covered in years of grease. When I get home later this month, I'll try to get some pics.
