As long as I'm replacing hoses on my "55 series 62, I might as well clean up and paint the water outlet/ thermostat housing. What's the correct color, Cadillac engine blue or satin black?
Thanks....Joe Gibeault

Blue! Mines a 53, but the colors are the same on a 55.

Yes, I agree with the previous poster -- "Cadillac Blue" is correct.

Yes, all these fittings that are attached to the engine whilst it is in the build stage are painted as one unit.
