This would be a good reference:

I got the blue at the napa store, it was called "old ford blue engine enamel." The black is the high end semigloss rustoleum.

Here's a link to my photobucket account: http://s1373.photobucket.com/user/duaneo/library/

I wasn't necessarily looking to do a restoration, and just chose either black or blue based on what felt right, or what I could see of the original paint. After I was more or less done, I saw the link up top, and realized I did a pretty decent restoration, just out of intuition.

Cheers,
Duane
