Looking for a metallic turquoise/teal high temp paint for the valve covers. Needs to be in a spray can. I don't see VHT or duplicolor showing these flavors. Anyone got a guess? I'd like a similar effect to this:

Going for that oh-so-90s look, are you?

Very much so! lol. As a home grown "Clinton era" kid, I am a sucker for that fast and furious look.

That looks like the Project-mu color.

VHT Early Chrysler Blue or possibly Dupli-Color Ford Green

Ford Green would be my bet.

That's what I thought too, but then googled the finished results and it looks like old lady car colors. Would really like a metallic finish.

In reply to Trackmouse:

Metallic Candy Teal Never used their paint system though.

Supposedly here it is on an RB26 valve cover. You need to spray over white to get that shade of the color though.

Both of those look great! Candy teal blue is uh.... 400$. So not spray can and WAY over budget.

Another vote for AMC blue. It's a little darker then Pontiac blue but not as dark as the valve cover in the first picture above.

Oh man I didn't even look at the price... AMC Engine blue might be where it's at.
