    Before I put my 225 in, I want to squirt it with some correct color.

    What is original and where can I find it?

    I think it's supposed to be Buick Turquoise. That appears to be the color on my 70 V6 and I've seen that color in some ads. Should be available at any parts store.

    I used 'Alpine Green' when I rebuilt the :v6: . It's a little lighter than OEM, but close enough for me.

    Thanks folks!

    Glad to hear the Turquoise Blue is correct.
    There are remnants of it on my 225 right now.
    But after this many years who knows how many coats of whatever it could have had. :rofl:
    I wanted to make sure.

    TA Performance sounds like a winner to me.
    I'll call them this week.

    Thanks again!
